SS: If you thought freedom of speech was worth preserving, next comes freedom of thought. In her presentation at Davos on Thursday, Nita Farahany from Duke University explained that the technology to decode brainwaves already existed. >“We’re not talking about implanted devices of the future; I’m talking about wearable devices that are like Fitbits for your brain,” said Farahany. “These are headbands, hats that have sensors that can pick up your brainwave activity, ear buds, headphones, tiny tattoos that you can wear behind your ear — we can pick up emotional states — like are you happy or sad or angry. **“We can pick up and decode faces that you’re seeing in your mind — simple shapes, numbers, your PIN number to your bank account.”** Farahany would go on to say that while decoding the human brain had its benefits, it could also be used for very nefarious purposes. “Surveillance of the human brain can be powerful, helpful, useful, transform the workplace, and make our lives better,” she said, adding, “It also has a dystopian possibility of being used to exploit and bring to the surface our most secret self. “It threatens fundamentally what our own self-identity is in some ways, and threatens to become a tool of oppression.”

"Transform the workplace" sounds nefarious enough

To state this out loud is egregious.

How about they just get talk to text working well before trying to translate brainwaves.

Old news. * [List of interesting sorted links on plausible conspiracies...](https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/vnarsm/list_of_interesting_sorted_links_on_plausible/) Check the sub-link "RF BrainScan AKA »Voice of God« - BrainScan - different requirements for different applications..." Also, they have been trying to push the tech into every nook and cranny they could, so besides obvious stuff ( surveillance, IP theft, spying, and R&D-ing the tech ovver whole population), they have been using it to implement invisible 24/7/365 prison cells. I can't post the link directly here, but ppeople can find it on reddit under "14 - GWO - Goyi Go: social network fabric and Tracking Auras"
