no, you wouldn't.

you know where the water is coming from. you know it's water.

oh. they don't need the fancy machine to interface. it's remote. they reply. you don't know where it comes from, either. or who.

trust me. you don't want to know what it's like.

What are you even talking about? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-023-01304-9

It's fMRI, there's nothing remote about it.

look, i get it. it's unbelievable.

i don't know for sure how it's done.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging

there's fNIRS, ECoG, iEEG.

it's a form of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_neuroimaging

also, wikipedia, a great source, isn't a good "source" at all for stuff that people want to keep covered up.

either way. it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-reading

using a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%80%93computer_interfa...

this is backed by something that's either a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc... or an AI very similar in nature.

this machine learning AI is using a developed and still growing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neural_network

maybe a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutional_neural_network

maybe a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_adversarial_network

the neuroimaging being done remotely has to be utilizing the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

or directed energy like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser

:/

Did you seriously just link the Wikipedia articles for... microwaves and the EM spectrum?

In one sentence, what is the concrete point you are making?

i did.

it reads as a story if you ignore everything before the first single "/" and read the title, which has a handy link to anyone wanting more info about it, because i am a nice guy, instead of asking such a question.

as far as summing it up, well, you can read what i have posted here to figured it out, if you really want to know more.

This is not meant as a personal attack, but reading your comments in this thread, it leaves me with the impression that you may be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.

A condition which, if remaining untreated, could eventually make you a danger to yourself and loved ones.

Please don't do internet psychiatric diagnosis on HN. It doesn't help.

I've read your links and I still don't get it. Please just summarize in a sentence or two what your core point is.
