it would be like putting a device in your brain that would launch a missile. reporter: sounds like a sci-fi thriller, new intelligence showing china is using technologies like gene editing and brain machine interfaces to enhance military capability and control its own people, machines that could allow a chinese commando to discharge a weapon with just a thought, not a trigger finger. that s what they mean by brain control technology. reporter: this month the biden administration targeted the emerging threat by levying sanctions on 37 chinese biotechnology companies that have ties to this research that experts say includes a so-called mind control weapons. former genre dean ron radcliffe warns against trying to keep up with china s unscrupulous efforts. we are not going to place our own soldiers at risk, which is what the intelligence tells us the chinese are
george floyd, were officer derek shelton killed this man. i believe in ghosts of george floyd was right over this trial. it could very well have influenced this jury in their decision-making. griff: ted williams. merry christmas to you. thank you for coming on and thank you for mentioning officer kiana holly in baltimore. we will be thinking of and praying for her family. thank you sir. julie. my pleasure. julie: indeed. we are learning now, new chilling details on just how china is using advanced technology to produce mind control. national security correspondent jennifer griffin has the story from the pentagon. it would literally be like putting a device into your brain that can launch a missile. it sounds in a sci-fi thriller. new intelligence shows that china s using technologies like gene editing and brain machine interfaces to enhance military capabilities and control its own

As we learn more about the human brain, we can begin to wonder if the rest of the body is necessary. Improved brain-machine interfaces are showing us how much can be accomplished by tapping directly into our thoughts.
While brainwaves can be read and interpreted through electrodes placed on the scalp, this method lacks the spatial detail of implanted electrodes. The recent action in practical thought-to-action science has taken place with direct physical connections.
For example, last summer brain researchers in Australia and the U.S. showed promising results by mounting electrodes on an expandable stent and threading it through blood vessels that lead to the brain. The sensors in the stent could sense when people’s brains signaled an intention to move, the sensors wirelessly sent this information to a computer which interpreted the signals. The interface allowed ALS patients to combine use of an eye tracker to move a cursor plus a thought-cont
