I am interested in it because I have a plan for mind uploading to extend my life indefinitely \u2014 otherwise known as superlongevity in our group \u2014 but I have no interest in allowing anyone to drill holes in my head! DARPA is looking at ways for non-invasive methods of connecting the thoughts in our brains to computers. Over time, this could be a method to capture the thoughts and memories and emotions within my mind and transfer them into a computer substrate. And, to be clear, this mind upload will, in fact, be me.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, DARPA is not developing this so that I can upload my mind. This is part of their wounded warrior project, where they are trying to rehabilitate soldiers who have had the misfortune to have lost a limb. In addition to the non-invasive neural technology, they are working on haptics to provide a feedback loop for the sense of touch and temperature. They are also working on what they describe as third wave AI to support this technology.<\/p>\n<p>The interview is with Dr Al Emondi, who has had a fascinating career in technology. He is the DARPA program manager in the Biological Technologies department.<\/p>\n<p>I will always admire DARPA for its world-changing technology innovations!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2020\/07\/brain-computer-interfaces-developed-by-darpa-us-department-of-defense\">Continue reading \u201cBrain Computer Interfaces Developed by DARPA, US Department of Defense\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are interested in brain computer interfaces (BCI), then you need to listen to this very exciting podcast!
