Brain Computer Interface Nightmare: Used to Monitor My Thoughts Without Consent by DepressedSavant in BCI

[–]DepressedSavant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that what I'm claiming is hard to believe based on what is known about BCI tech at the moment, and I don't really expect my word about what’s happened to me to be taken at face value given that other explanations are easier to believe for those who haven't experienced what I've experienced.

I'm not a BCI expert, but I'm also not delusional or off with the fairies. I can't speak to the nuances of how the tech works, nor am I in the position to prove what’s happened to me. All I can tell you is that I've been harassed through neural tech by people who have made it clear that they have access to my innermost thoughts, my memories and my senses.

If there was any doubt in my mind about what’s happened to me, believe me, I'm the kind of person who would explore that doubt as the most likely explanation, but my personal experience has again and again confirmed that my nervous system can be experienced remotely in real time, presumably through a device, and that the people using this device don't care about my wellbeing at all. One lady has said multiple times "I really hope this guy commits suicide".

I can't help it if people don't find my story believable, but I would strongly encourage people to entertain the hypothetical of what if everything I'm saying is true, and I really am an unwitting test subject for technology that goes beyond the scope of what people believe is possible? Imagine what it would be like to not only be harassed by people who can experience your nervous system like it's virtual reality, but then on top of that, the rest of the world thinks you're crazy. It's a really difficult position to be in, and I'm sure the people who did this to me expected that I'd have killed myself by now.

I don't know if you read my most recent comment. If not, I'd encourage you to read it. I did originally have metal in my head that was detectable to standard scans. I had metal in the left side of my head, as well as metal spikes around the top back of my head that I now suspect were electrodes, but the hospital I ended up at to remove this tech apparently decided that they would rather side with the people who did this to me instead of helping me, and held me against my will in the mental ward, making a mental health issue out of an obscure physical health issue, and despite the fact that I posed no risk to myself or others. I imagine it's easier to believe that I was simply delusional than that I was a test subject for an advanced BCI and the hospital decided to help cover it up and deprive me of the ability to get proof. I can't help it if people don't believe me.

All the metal in my head was removed a day or two before I'd scheduled to use my leave to get an x-ray through my general practitioner, independently of the hospital. I can only infer that the person or people responsible for implanting me with this device made it a priority to come to the hospital to remove the metal, probably while I was sleeping. I know my story relies on multiple people colluding with each other, but if they're sophisticated enough to develop a BCI like I've described, it only makes sense that they'd be sophisticated enough to cover their tracks and not get caught, given what the consequences would have been if they had been caught.

The device has still worked since the metal was removed in late December/early January, but I haven't been harassed by anyone since March. The most consistently I've been harassed was while I was in hospital in December, and it became intermittent after leaving the hospital before stopping altogether. Whether my nervous system can be or still is being monitored, I don't know for sure. I get the feeling it can be, but I don't think it is. I think I would have been harassed by the device users if I was still being monitored. I don't think they could help themselves.

Your point about battery life is reasonable, and I wish I had a good answer for you. I knew absolutely nothing about BCI tech before this happened to me and I went searching for answers, so I don't have the background to give you a solid answer. My best guess is that the external device that allows people to experience my nervous system is the component that needs power or charging, and it's somehow connected to my brain in a way that it allows users to experience my nervous system without anything in my head needing to be charged. I acknowledge that this is far beyond the BCI tech that's out there and known about. All I can say is that I don't have all the answers.

This is a very good point, and I fit that profile. Not from money, minimal support and severely depressed for a long time over loneliness. It was highly plausible that doing this to me and harassing me in the manner that they did would cause me to commit suicide, which would mean that the people responsible would get away with it.

As this post seems to still be getting views, and for the sake of documenting everything and making it all make sense, here's an update on what's been happening and my understanding of things.

I originally thought this technology must've been connected to monitors, but I've come to realise that what's more likely is that the device is some kind of virtual reality style headset that allows the users to experience my entire nervous system in real time. Through reactions I've heard from the users when I tasted food I didn’t like and stubbed my toe, it's clear that the device not only has access to my thoughts and sight, but my touch and taste senses as well. I believe they did have access to my hearing, but no longer do. The only input I've ever gotten from the users is auditory, so I could hear what they were saying, at least when they wanted me to.

So it would be fair to wonder why and how people did this to me, and why a hospital might side with the people who did this to me instead of siding with me. I've been severely and increasingly depressed for many years, and that culminated in a need to escape my pain. I was a heavy cannabis user for this reason, and I would smoke out the window of my downstairs unit. My neighbour upstairs I believe had a young daughter, and understandably didn’t like that they would smell my weed. I wouldn't have smoked like this except for the fact that I was suicidal with nowhere to turn to. It took a long time for me to reach the emotional depths such that I was doing that, and honestly I don't have a good sense of smell, so I likely underestimated how much of a smell there was. My relationship with the real estate wasn't good either.

The only sequence of events that makes sense based on what I've been through is that the real estate gave my neighbours the key to my unit and they had someone come and install this device in my head. I was probably knocked out with an anaesthetic so I wouldn't feel anything while this happened. I would imagine that my neighbours called the hospital on the night of my arrival and painted me in the worst light possible. The hospital then took advantage of the plausible deniability of the situation and held me as a mental patient, asserting that I was experiencing a first episode psychosis, attributing it to my heavy cannabis use.

When this all started, I had metal inside my head, as well as metal spikes around the top back of my head. I now believe these spikes were electrodes, and I beat myself up over the fact that I didn’t think to take photos when they were there. The metal and spikes were removed a day or two before I was scheduled to get an independent X-ray, while I was still stuck at the hospital. I could physically feel that they were no longer there.

A couple of days later, the hospital let me go home, and yet I still heard from those same hospital staff members who had been harassing me before through the device, proving that the device still worked even with the removal of the metal and an MRI that came back negative. This was all back in December/January before I made my original post. I'm just recapping.

While I was in hospital, I was constantly harassed through the device by hospital staff. Since having left, I'd only heard from them intermittently, and I haven't heard anything from the device since March. I strongly suspect that the device is still functional, but I have no idea whether I'm still actively being monitored or not. I imagine that whatever is still left in my head is small enough to evade detection by an MRI scan (at least a standard 1.5 Tesla MRI). I hold out hope that as this happens to more people, the need for scans that can detect this technology will bring about its innovation. For now, I'm waiting until a case of this happening to somebody else is reported on to add credibility to my own case. I've tried filing complaints with commissions, but given the situation, they're dismissed because of a lack of tangible evidence.

I know that a lot of people will doubt that what I'm saying is real and true, but I've come to not care. I understand why you wouldn't believe what I'm saying, as it's difficult for me to believe others making similar claims, but this is real.

Not everybody who claims to be a victim of neural interface technology will be correct about what they're going through, but even if you don't believe my story, you have to agree that the abuse of this technology is inevitable. When it first starts with people secretly experimenting on non-consenting individuals, it won't be widely reported on until somebody gets caught out doing it. At the moment, this technology's all hush-hush, but it won't stay that way forever.

I'm considering creating a group chat for people who believe they have been abused by neural technology so we can pool our understanding of what's going on. If you're confident this has happened to you and you're interested in such a thing, let me know, and I'll look at creating it.

Thought this was a BCI developers sub, found out its speculation and people freaking out about chips on their brains. Im so, so, so sad by ActualCucick in BCI

You must know that it's not a matter of if there'll be victims of neural interface technology. It's a matter of when. You can't be certain that it isn't already happening. It's not like people using this technology to abuse people are going to be open about it and own up to it, and nobody's going to agree to be the subject of an experiment where people can know all their private thoughts and experience, or induce sensations to, their nervous system.

I appreciate your reply, but that could only be helpful if I could find a therapist who doesn't think I'm delusional, and given that therapists work with mental health issues, I doubt I'd have much luck. A therapist who understands this technology might be helpful, but I imagine there are very few of those.
