      This research uses a direct computer interface to the brain, a BCI.

      Due to the invasiveness of the procedure, I don’t imagine the current administration would find much use for it. Their strongarm and propaganda methods are working well enough for their evil plans.

      How do you imagine the current regime abusing this technology in a way that doesn’t imply they already have complete power over the people they want to abuse?

      I think if you’re saying this you probably didn’t understand what is involved in this research.
