– AI-controlled brain implants for mood disorders tested in people:
Researchers funded by the US military are developing appliances to record neural activity and automatically stimulate the brain to treat mental illness.
Brain implants that deliver electrical pulses tuned to a person’s feelings and behaviour are being tested in people for the first time. Two teams funded by the US military’s research arm, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), have begun preliminary trials of ‘closed-loop’ brain implants that use algorithms to detect patterns associated with mood disorders. These devices can shock the brain back to a healthy state without input from a physician.

Implanting a microchip into your brain to unlock its full potential may sound like the plot from the latest science fiction blockbuster.
But the futuristic technology could become a reality within 15 years, according to Bryan Johnson, an expert working on such a device.
The chips will allow people to buy and delete memories, and will soon be as popular as smartphones, Mr Johnson claims.

– Wisconsin Firm Microchips Employees: “It’s Inevitably The Next Thing… And We Want To Be Part Of It“:
In April we noted that Swedish company Epicenter had begun implanting RFID chips into workers hands… and the workers loved it… it makes opening doors and buying smoothies so easy and convenient, and your coworkers will even throw a party for you once you take the plunge to become a cyborg.
The injections have become so popular that workers at Epicenter hold parties for those willing to get implanted.
“The biggest benefit I think is convenience,” said Patrick Mesterton, co-founder and CEO of Epicenter. As a demonstration, he unlocks a door by merely waving near it. “It basically replaces a lot of things you have, other communication devices, whether it be credit cards or keys.”
Workers there seem alright with the idea. In the article, the general attitude is perhaps best captured by the comment of one 25-year-old worker:
Some countries / companies are being used to pioneer the Mark of the Beast technology. Sweden is one of those at forefront of the trend. https://t.co/66SjVlRdSS

Still need to wake up to Trump.
At least Dr. Paul Craig Roberts woke up.

The real reason for abolishing cash is to microchip everyone, thereby controlling them more easily. #MarkoftheBeasthttps://t.co/sCFHdLu67W

– Companies Have Begun Implanting Microchips in Workers:
Sweden — Craving more of a science fiction-style existence? Perhaps you should seek a job with one of the companies at Epicenter, an employment hub in Sweden.
The Associated Press reported Monday that companies there have begun implanting microchips in their employees, marking the first time the practice has been used on a broad scale.
“What could pass for a dystopian vision of the workplace is almost routine at the Swedish start-up hub Epicenter,” AP reports. “The company offers to implant its workers and start-up members with microchips the size of grains of rice that function as swipe cards: to open doors, operate printers or buy smoothies with a wave of the hand.”
