I. Foreword
This book reveals a global secret, which is that humans began to master the technology of " reading the brain " in the 1960s. It can display the human brain's thinking activities, memories, and reactions on the computer screen. Its technical principle was based on the fact that the human brain was a biological electromagnetic field. The 'atomic bomb of the spiritual world' exploded silently. Due to the limitations of the era, no government, organization, or individual officially acknowledged the existence and development of this technology. The rare clues were also fleeting and hidden.
At the beginning of the 21st century, this technology had already developed to the level of wireless remote monitoring of a large number of key targets. And the level of automated processing and database management.
In 2005, it was believed that it was possible to download your brain onto a computer hard drive, thereby granting you spiritual immortality. At that time, death was only the nirvana of the physical body, and the memories, thinking structure, thinking ability, emotions, and reactions still existed. In this way, people only changed their way of existence. The boundaries between the human brain and the computer, nerves and circuits would become blurred.
By mastering this technology (reading the brain, scanning and copying the brain), humans could have smoothly progressed to become their own masters, control their own destiny, and even achieve the goal of eternal life, building human society into a paradise on earth where everyone had no worries. Unfortunately, until now, the "brain reading technology" mastered by various countries had not been used for the benefit of mankind (such as allowing the blind to see again, allowing the deaf and mute to hear again). Instead, it was used more for confrontation, manipulation, and control. It was even used by some sinister and powerful figures as a tool for ideology and thought struggles. It became a tool for power struggles.
This book explains the truth of the " Brain Reading Era ". I hope that the publication of this book can give the vast number of good people living under the silent deception of " being concealed the truth " a truth, and they can find comfort in this book when they are subjected to a well-planned, invisible and untraceable oppression.
The relevant supporting materials for this book were obtained from public sources such as newspapers, magazines, and the Internet. They could all be obtained by searching for "brain scan" and "brain replication" on the Internet. I hereby declare.
2. Since the 1960s, humans have entered the era of "brain reading".
For understandable reasons, authors would use the future tense when describing the " era of brain reading " and would not explicitly tell you that humans had actually entered the " era of brain reading " since the 1960s.
Like When Brain Thoughts Are No Longer Private: Is the era of brain reading coming?" As the article wrote, the readers were still a little confused after reading it. In fact, this article was meant to tell you vaguely: Mankind had entered the " era of brain reading." When Brain Thoughts Are No Longer Private: Is the era of brain reading coming?" See below:
Sooner or later, brain imaging technology would leave the laboratory and seep into real life. At present, some people have used this technology to observe the effect of the campaign advertisements of Bosh and Kerry. One day, if one's privacy was peeped into or one's future was predicted, what would happen? Would the results of neuroscience research be used maliciously or misinterpreted?
FMRI was a non-invasive, real-time brain imaging technique that had greatly improved cognitive neuroscience.
Social cognitive neuroscience was a new discipline that had emerged abroad in recent years. The researchers had been involved in many aspects of human thinking. Their research was very personal, and they had already studied the details of human motivation and desires.
Get involved in the presidential campaign
Using MRI technology for presidential campaigns was neither science fiction nor a political gimmick. It was a research project being carried out by the UCLA Institute of Psychoscience.
Tom Freedman was one of the brains behind Clinton's presidential campaign in 1996. He later entered the White House as an assistant to the president. Now, Tom was a senior political adviser to the party, and his brother, Joshua Freedman, was an associate professor of psychiatric medicine at UCLA. Recently, the Friedman brothers co-hosted a study that used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe the human brain to analyze the effects of various versions of presidential campaign advertisements on the electorate. Currently, the final results of this research were being summarized and were ready to be published in academic journals.
Testing the effectiveness of campaign ads had always been one of the tasks of the presidential campaign team. Usually, this work was done through interviews with key people. This time, 11 subjects were lying in the MRI machine for brain scans while watching the campaign advertisements of Bosh and Kerry. They did not need to answer any questions. According to the preliminary analysis of the researchers, when watching these commercials, the supporters of the two parties showed a variety of different brain imaging changes. From this, the researchers could detect their inner activities and assess the effectiveness of the campaign advertisements.
According to reports, when they saw the commercial with the theme of "911", the activity of the almond nucleus in the brain of the supporters of the Liberal Party increased, and they were more obvious than the supporters of the Liberal Party. The almond nucleus was thought to be related to emotional reactions such as anxiety and panic. Some researchers explained this result by saying that the 911 incident was the most favorable political capital for President George W. bush's re-election. When supporters of the democratic party saw President George W. bush trying to use this capital, they were more likely to be anxious. According to his rich political experience, Tom Friedman had a different explanation for this. He believed that this was because the latter always had a stronger sense of concern about violence than the former. Although the final analysis of the experimental results had not been completed yet, Tom's explanation was more agreeable to most people.
Changes in the subjects 'attitudes toward the candidates were also observed when they watched the campaign advertisements. At the beginning of the test, when they saw the photos of Boo and Kerry, both the supporters of the Liberal Party and the Liberal Party had similar emotional reactions to the two candidates. These changes were reflected in the scans of the central part of the prefrontal lobe, which was related to the brain's reflex function. However, when they looked at the photos of the candidates after watching the campaign advertisements, their attitudes were clearly divided into two parties: They would still have an emotional reaction when they faced the candidate they supported, but when they saw the other side, the brain's " rational center ", the dorsolateral part of the prefrontal lobe, showed strong activity. A professor in charge of the experiment pointed out," From this, it can be seen that subconsciously, they really see themselves as one with the candidate they support. When they see their opponent, their rational thinking becomes active, as if they are ready to argue with the other party.”
While the participants in this research were keen to add science to politics, many neuroscientists were cautious. They believed that on the one hand, MRI scans could help understand the brain's response to political information; On the other hand, the factors that influenced people's political attitudes were very complicated. Before reaching a conclusion, further research and an objective and accurate analysis of the research results were needed.
At the same time, there were also optimists who believed that the research work led by the Friedman brothers would obviously help increase the controllable factors in the election. Professor Read Montagu, the director of the human neuroimaging laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine, was one of such optimists. He was famous for his use of brain imaging technology to study the advertising of soda drinks. His research even led to the birth of a new marketing field, neuromarketing. It was no wonder that he felt a sense of empathy for the Friedman brothers.
neuromarketing
The trendy neuromarketing came from the Pepsi Challenge more than 20 years ago: In order to break through Coca-Cola's market monopoly, Pepsi boldly tested the taste of its customers. They asked the subjects to taste a variety of beverages without brand labels and then tell them which taste was the best. The whole process of the experiment was broadcast live on television. The result of the experiment was that most people thought Pepsi tasted better. The Pepsi Challenge had achieved a certain advertising effect, but they also discovered a phenomenon: Although most people felt that Pepsi tasted better, they still preferred Coke when they actually bought it. Therefore, the Pepsi Challenge became a classic example of marketing to prove the brand effect.
Last year, Professor Montagu 'revamped' the Pepsi Challenge by using functional magnetic resonance scans of the subjects 'brains. The results showed that, without being told the brand, most of the subjects preferred Pepsi based on taste, and the activity of the pea nucleus in their brains was five times stronger than those who chose Coke. The pea nucleus was thought to be the brain's "reward center". It would show a positive reinforcement response when a person's desire was satisfied. On the other hand, when the subjects were faced with branded drinks, most people still preferred Coca-Cola. At this time, the area of their brain that was activated was the central prefrontal lobe, which was related to higher-level cognitive activities (such as the analysis and judgment of images, names, concepts, etc.).
The 'Montagu version' of Pepsi's challenge experiment not only verified the role of brands, but also found the part of the brain that played a role. No wonder it caused a commotion in the neuroscience and marketing circles.
Steven Quartz, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology, said," The market survey is based on the assumption that people know their own needs. However, this is not the case. The power of neuromarketing lies in its ability to reveal the needs of the brain's subconscious.”Kuworts was designing a brain-imaging test for film producers to predict market reactions. For example, according to the results of the traditional method, many women expressed that they did not like an action star who used to be a wrestler, but when he appeared on the screen, the brain imaging clearly showed that the area of the female audience's brain related to attractiveness was frequently " discharged." According to Kuvat, producers could adjust their marketing strategies to female audiences based on this result. In a further plan, Kuwards was going to figure out why some people were equally moved by the trailer and walked into the cinema while others did not. What was the difference between the two types of people's brains?
At Emory University in Atlanta, in order to better apply neuromarketing to business practice, someone set up a marketing consulting organization called the Brighthouse Institute for Thought Sciences. Some big companies were preparing to use a portion of their marketing funds to try out this new product. Smart House would select potential consumers for the company to conduct brain scans to assess their reactions to the company's products and advertisements. The company would adjust its marketing strategy based on the test results and strive to achieve the best product image.
Montagu predicted that fMRI would become a tool for international companies to test the effectiveness of product packaging, advertising, and other promotional activities.
While neuromarketing became a hot topic, some people denounced it as a scam. They thought that these people were just using science as a cover to get money from manufacturers who were eager to pry into consumer psychology. There was no practical use at all.
On the other hand, the American consumer organization, Business Alert, protested the use of neuroscience to solve marketing problems, believing that it was leading business to a state of illness: Multinational companies attempted to search for the "buy button" in people's minds and control their purchasing behavior. In response, Joey Reiman, CEO of Smart House, explained,""We don't think there's a 'buy button' in the brain. All we do is use advanced technology to more accurately understand and analyze consumer preferences, so as to help manufacturers provide products and services that better meet customer needs, as well as carry out more effective advertising.”As for controlling the purchasing behavior of consumers, Lehmann said," This is something I can't do in my lifetime. Moreover, our goal is to change manufacturers, not consumers.”
Regardless of the academic or moral arguments, the management of the "smart house" of Lehmann might not be too bad: Using MRI scans to obtain dynamic images cost $1000 per person per hour, and a single experiment involving 12 subjects cost $50,000.
How far is the era of brain reading?
Magnetic resonance imaging was often seen as an advanced medical instrument, but in fact, it had become an important tool for neuroscience research to understand the brain. According to Dr. Sun Xuejun of the Second Military Medical University, the MRI machine used in medical treatment was only a static imaging technology. It could only show the shape and structure of the brain, such as brain damage such as tumors and bleeding. It was very limited in observing the changes in nerve activity. In the early 1990s, functional magnetic resonance was developed on the basis of ordinary magnetic resonance technology. It could link brain activity with specific tasks or sensory processes. It was a non-invasive, real-time monitoring of brain imaging technology. At the same time, it had high temporal and spatial resolution, so this technology greatly promoted the development of cognitive neuroscience.
In China, fMRI was mostly used to study brain diseases, as well as basic neural activities such as memory and Chinese character recognition. Sun Xuejun believed that it was feasible to use brain imaging technology in presidential campaigns and marketing. According to him, since the price of functional magnetic resonance equipment was more than 20 million yuan per unit, there were still a limited number of research institutions with this equipment in China, so it was generally not used to study cognitive activities related to specific social life.
However, social cognitive neuroscience was indeed a new discipline that had emerged abroad in recent years. The researchers had been involved in many aspects of human thinking. Their research was very personal, and they had already revealed the details of human motivation and desires. The British magazine New Scientist listed the topics involved in brain imaging technology, including: Race discrimination, personality traits, violent tendencies, sexual fantasies, drug addiction, political orientation, self-esteem, etc. Through research, neuroscientists had already understood their respective brain imaging characteristics. They also predicted that brain imaging technology would sooner or later leave the laboratory and seep into real life. With the arrival of this day, the ethical issues that brain imaging technology would face attracted more and more attention from neuroscientists, ethicists, and lawyers. What would happen if one's privacy was spied on or one's future was predicted? Would the results of neuroscience research be used maliciously or misinterpreted?
Judy Illes, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, was the organizer of the neuroethics forum. She was most worried about the forced use of brain imaging technology. For example, insurance companies would force their policy holders or employers to perform brain scans on their employees in order to obtain certain privacy. Secondly, brain imaging technology was used to predict certain behaviors or diseases in the future. For example, those who were predicted to have mental illness or violent tendencies would receive discrimination. Some parents even gave their children drugs to change their personality or IQ. In addition, whether the results of the brain imaging test could be used as legal evidence would also become a complicated issue. Fortunately, the legal advisors of the United States and the European Union were preparing to discuss the impact of brain imaging technology on social life in the future.
In fact, although brain imaging technology was considered a breakthrough in cognitive neuroscience, human understanding of the brain was still at a very limited stage, and there was a lot of room for development. The neuroscientists generally believed that humans still had a long way to go before they could truly enter the era of brain reading.
The Brain Plan of the World
In 1989, the United States took the lead in launching a national brain science program and named the last decade of the 20th century as the " decade of the brain." This move immediately received the support of the International Brain Research Organization and many international academic organizations. In 1991, Europe launched the European Brain Ten Year Plan. In 1996, Japan also formulated a ten-year " Brain Science Era Plan." These plans were highly valued by the government. For example, the " Ten Years of Brain " plan in the United States was passed through Congress and signed by the president. It also called on government agencies, research groups, and the people of the country to support brain research in various ways through television speeches. The funding invested by countries in brain science research was also amazing. Taking Japan's " Brain Science Era " as an example, it planned to invest 100 billion yen per year, and the total investment was expected to reach 2 trillion yen, which was 10 times the country's super steel development plan.
The development of brain science had also experienced several advancements in concepts: The United States proposed the " Ten Years of the Brain " plan to focus on protecting the brain and preventing brain diseases. The "European Brain Ten Years" took into account the protection of the brain and understanding of the brain; Japan's plan was to promote the creation of the brain, understanding the brain, and protecting the brain as the three major goals of brain research.
In our country, in early 2001, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Xinhua News Agency jointly predicted the "Ten Major Science and Technology Trending that Will Have a Major Impact on Mankind in the New Era." The fourth major trend was the development of cognitive neuroscience, which revealed the mysteries of the human brain and explored the nature of consciousness and thinking activities. At the same time, the Life Science Development Strategy Research Group of the Life Science Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had designated it as a major frontier of life science.
After you finish reading this book, go back and read When the Brain Is No Longer Private: Is the era of brain reading coming?" You will truly understand the meaning of this article.
As for the basis for my judgment that since the 1960s, humans have entered the "According to a report by Russia's Pravda and the Youth League Pravda on January 8, 2005, since the 1960s, the United States and the Soviet Union had launched a war of mental agents without smoke until the government came to power. Yuri Marin, a former senior official of the Russian Federal Security Service (formerly known as the KGB), recently revealed that during the reign of President Yelü Qin, the Russian Federal Security Service specially established a mysterious "Mental Security Department" to prevent the spiritual will of the top Russian leaders from being interfered with by external forces. According to another confidential file, a "supersensory device" developed in the past could "collectively hypnotize" a city resident 50 kilometers away. It could be seen that humans had long entered the "era of brain reading", but it was only now that more and more people knew about it.
