The United States Army plans to develop a technology that would allow American soldiers to use their brains for communication. This innovation could give the soldiers telepathic ability, which will be useful in military operations.
The U.S. Army Research Office will fund the project for the next five years. As of the moment, the research was able to separate brain signals that influence behavior from other signals that do not.
According to Independent UK's latest report, an algorithm could filter out brain activity connected with directing motion and other behavior-relevant signals.
"Here we're not only measuring signals, but we're interpreting them," said Hamid Krim, the Army Research Office's program manager via C4ISRNET.
Study aims to give feedback directly to the brain
The U.S. Army researchers currently aim to give messages or feedback directly to the soldiers' brains. This will help them to change their choice of actions efficiently and quickly during a time-sensitive scenario.

If the research became successful, fatigue and stress signals, which warns the brain before the person feels tired, would soon become silent communication. The researchers could also allow the soldiers' brains to communicate with computers, as well as send signals to their colleagues.
Krim also explained that the technology could also allow people in a theater to communicate with each other without uttering audible words.
Upcoming innovation is completely wireless
The Army Research Office's program manager also claimed that the upcoming technology will be completely wireless and charges using induction, unlike Neuralink's prototype version in 2019. However, this is still far away from completion since the scientists still can't fully understand the neurological basis for emotional conditions.
Additionally, training the brain to perform simple tasks via a computer-linked interface requires a lot of tests and experiments.
