DARPA’s Self-Healing Body Concept
DARPA, the folks who gave us the internet and GPS, now imagine implanting sensors in the body to monitor a number medical and health conditions: for example, “Investigating whether direct triggering of the spleen or other organs could help treat rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions; Investigating whether inflammation control in the brain could help treat depression; Investigating whether the management of neurochemicals that regulate learning and memory in the brain could offer new treatments for post-traumatic stress and other mental health disorders; Investigating thermal activation of the adrenal gland; Investigating the stimulation of the vagal nerve to induce neural plasticity for the treatment of post-traumatic stress.” Wow!!
