The nature/nurture conundrum takes on a new dimension here.

The only answer is, WE CAN'T. At the proper wavelengths, the skull and soft tissues become transparent; indeed, images perceived by the visual cortex have already been decoded to monitors through trancranial Near Infrared Optical Tomography, using pink LEDs (as anticipated by Phillip K. Dick in Minority Report, years before it was ever done). To properly sophisticated remote detection apparatus, our skulls may already be luminescent orbs, broadcasting our stream-of-consciousness for machine decryption. If not, its only a matter of time before this is done - and it will come in years, not decades from now.

How could this be tracked? Then we read about the DARPA 1.8gb surveillance camera (20,000 feet and see everything down to 6 inches) and in the accompanying video we see that the software can detect and focus in on any and all "movement" in the scene and record the whole thing in real time for playback at any spot at any time. Clearly when the watcher is electronic, this chaotic, fleeting motion "slows down" to practically a crawl. The researchers here can watch the "signals" flow "slowly" through the entire nervous system of the fish as it "gradually" notices and turns to catch and eat the paramecium. With a slightly different future technology, they will be able to do this with "non-transparent" creatures ... as the DARPA camera can even now work through clouds. As I have mentioned before .. amazing times we live in now!

Why do I ask this question? Because if this experiment is solely designed to extrapolate information to help Big Pharma manufacture drugs (meaning poison, right? The word 'drug' does mean poison, doesn't it?) for psychiatric purposes, and if I read this article correctly and, well, understood it correctly, couldn't this lead to even more nefarious activity and possibly even criminal activity of such organizations as the Central "Intelligence?" Agency and similar or related type criminal organizations within not just the government of the Untied States of Central North America, but elsewhere in the world? I know that that sounds overboard, but anyone who has their head screwed on strait knows what I am asking here can very well be valid. Psyops, COINTELPRO, and other illegal activity designed by our military and spy agencies to instill fear, dread, disinoformation, misinformation, propaganda and terror in the minds of its recipients...mainly the the American people and/or whoever the Elite's enemies may be, which is usually everyone who aren't members of the Silver Spoon Club.
