Mind controller chip

Narrated by two people.

I had spent all morning interviewing micro neurology graduates to assist in decoding brain waves as a means to controlling computers rather than using a keyboard and mouse. I thought I would whittle it down to 2 or 3 candidates. But the only suitable person was a fairly plain girl about 23 who probably had a fairly good figure if she didnt wear such ill fitting clothes. Her name was Sue she seemed very shy.

After a couple of weeks we started to get on well enough and she was very good at what I needed her to do. After two months we had a prototype which stuck on the back of the neck with a couple of Elastoplast. It consisted of very fine wires that just pierced the skin hooked up to a small computer chip . It felt a bit sore to start then the device emitted a pain blocking signal. We connected it to the computer and after a week decoding our brain waves we were able to type by using our thoughts. It only did lower case letters, no numbers and no punctuation. At best it was about as fast as a slow typist.

We tried to think of other uses for it.

What if we made two and see if we could communicate with each other.

How would we decide who transmitted and who received.

We could have a wrist band that you pressed to talk.

Ok we would need to set them both to receive and analyse the wave forms first.

after a hectic week we had two prototypes. These had Velcro wrist bands. and a large wound dressing to hold the chip on the back of the neck.

We started analysing the wave forms. We started by sticking a sharp object in the back of our hands to find the pain signals. We found we could increase or decrease these from the slightest touch being agony to a quite serious pin prick not registering at all.

Alongside the pain waves we found the triggers for anger we wound Sues up to high and I told her to slap me. She seemed to enjoy that. My anger signals shot trough the roof. I wound pain and anger down as far as they would go and we did it again. I felt no pain and no animosity. We made the assumption Sues would be the same. I didnt really want to hit her.

Over that week we found an assortment of signals that were the same for me and sue. Not sure what all of these did. Then we found the triggers for Reluctance and Inhibition.

While Ben sorted out the software for the chips I made the wristbands. Adding sliders to control any four signals. Which signals they controlled would be set in the computer.

We decided that one slider would return everything to normal, one would cover inhibition and the third would cover one of the unknown signals.

We put on the neck bands and switched them on then strapped on the wrist bands. As they booted up there was a small buzz in the back of the neck. Ok turn the reset slider to off. and turn the other two to ten percent. It felt a bit strange, as Sues head turned from left to right I could feel signals change.

I started talking to Ben but he seemed to know what I was going to say a fraction of a second before he said it. This was weird.

OK turn the reset on.

It seems we were feeling the same effect.

OK sue you are a very shy person normally aren’t you. If I asked you to strip naked you wouldn’t do it would you.

NO definitely not.

Would you be prepared to slowly turn your inhibition up to see how that works.

You want me to keep turning my inhibition signal up until I strip naked for you.

Its just you and me. I want you to try your hardest not to do it. When you start removing your clothes I will stop.

I dont Know.
