“You’re feeling distracted and can’t get your work done despite a looming deadline. Your headphones detect your lack of focus and suggest you take a break, while a headband beams signals to adjust your brain activity and energize you. Crisis averted.
That’s the future technologists imagine, and a variety of devices are being developed to enhance the brain’s performance in day-to-day life.
Right now, the market for devices that can read brain activity and translate it into actions is in its infancy. But, thanks in part to Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink, which is developing implantable brain-computer interfaces—or BCIs—that can record data from thousands of brain cells, investment and interest in these devices have soared in recent years.
New wearable devices designed to provide feedback during day-to-day activities build on implantable BCIs used for medical interventions, as well as decades of research into how the brain works. Efforts on implantable devices focus on restoring function. Applications aimed to allow communication and movement have been in development for decades to help paralyzed patients, and researchers have made major leaps with implantable devices in recent years, including giving voice back to the voiceless.
Last year, Neuralink showed that a monkey could control a cursor with its mind and type out a message. A Neuralink competitor, Synchron, showed that paralyzed patients implanted with its brain-recording device could use their brain signals to text with an iPhone.
THINGS TO PONDER:
Regular Ripped From The Headlines readers know exactly where this is going… and it ain’t good.
Remember: If it’s designed to “be convenient if you just let us ‘x’” you’re the product…
Here’s a reminder of where something like this ends:
“Let Me Into Your Brain… What Could Go Wrong?”
Based on your track record with Neuralink Mr. Musk, A LOT.
But, the FDA doesn’t seem to care much about that…
These days, you can put monkeys into psychotic episodes, and that will get you clearance to run tests on humans…
The US Government is amazing, isn’t it?
For the record, here’s what we shared with you in the December 2nd edition of Ripped From The Headlines:
ELON MUSK WANTS TO PUT CHIPS IN YOUR BRAIN
Let that sink in for a sec…
While you’re being distracted (Twitter), Elon isn’t.

“Nearly 450 patients at Salem Hospital in Massachusetts may have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV due to improper administration of their IV medications, a hospital spokesperson said Thursday.
The potential exposures occurred over roughly two years and involved patients who needed an endoscopy, a procedure where doctors use a small camera to look inside the body to detect diseases.
The hospital was first made aware of the possible exposures earlier this year and the practice was immediately corrected, according to a statement.
‘We sincerely apologize to those who have been impacted and we remain committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate health care to our community,’ the hospital said.
The likelihood that patients were actually infected is ‘extremely small’ and no patients reported infections as of Thursday, said Adam Bagni, the hospital’s director of external communications.
Bagni said the hospital is testing people for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, ‘which are standard tests for a potential exposure of this kind,’ but did not elaborate further on the nature of the exposure.
THINGS TO PONDER:
As if we don’t live in scary enough times already…
In a time where “an overabundance of caution” continues to be pushed as the norm, we now see another in a series of missteps by medical providers when it comes to your safety.
How does something like this happen?
That’s the right question to ask.
As strange as it may sound, hospitals are the place where you’re most likely to get sick… and, you need to be asking LOTS of questions about your care while you’re there…
If it doesn’t make sense or it feels odd, it’s OK to say something.

“We don’t yet know exactly how 6G wireless technology is going to work. But researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst believe using humans as antennas to power 6G may be the most viable way to harvest additional energy that would otherwise get wasted.
In the always-present effort to speed up informational exchange, scientists have already started investigating Visible Light Communication (VLC), basically a wireless version of fiberoptics, that uses flashes of light to transmit information. Adding VLC to 6G spurred the UMass Amherst team to dig even deeper.
First, some background on 6G. As a refresher, 5G—what is considered the fifth, and most recent generation of cellular broadband networks—is still in its infancy. True 5G networks operate in millimeter-wave frequencies between 30 and 300 Gigahertz, which are 10 to 100 times higher frequency than previous 4G cellular network. (Some cell phone providers cheat, however, by claiming the upper end of the 4G spectrum as 5G).
The definition of these cellular generations are defined by a global partnership known as 3GPP. Given the history of the never-ending march of technology, it’s inevitable that 5G will be replaced by a new network in the future. It just isn’t entirely clear what 6G will be.
In the meantime, in the new study, the UMass Amherst scientists found that humans can play a crucial role in making VLC more efficient by using their bodies as a carrier for coiled copper to catch waste energy from VLC. Lead study author Jie Xiong, UMass Amherst professor of information and computer sciences, explains:
‘VLC is quite simple and interesting. Instead of using radio signals to send information wirelessly, it uses the light from LEDs that can turn on and off, up to one million times per second.’
LEDs bulbs can then transmit data, and ‘anything with a camera, like our smartphones, tablets, or laptops could be the receiver,’ Xiong says.
