The day they will finally get me.

#3As the list of ways to trigger and activate the chimp brain gets refined, how long before we end up with something like a Laser for society?
The echo chambers on social media and reinforcement/amplification they produce seems to be very similar to the mechanism to generate coherent light. Does analogy break somehow?
Instead of syncing waves or particles just button press and sync a bunch of humans brains.
I guess armies and religion and politics and sports have been doing that (unsuprisingly through stories) but to achieve it instantly seems very possible the way things are going.
I mean the Speed at which ppl on social media or news media or the russians (sorry russians! I just mean whoever is motivated enough) can get the herd to stampede in a partucular direction, seems to be increasing.
How long before its instant? After all, its just chemicals being activated at the end of the day.

Yeah, this really sounds sucky to use this in a classroom. Slacking is a basic human right!
“Oh no, everything is not optimized 100% for efficiency!” sounds a lot like the Borg from Star Trek.

#5Note that this doesn’t mean their hearts beat in sync, only that their heart rate tends to rise or fall in sync.

#6While interesting, not too surprising, right? Their heart rates will be low during the calm parts, high during the tense parts, etc.

#7s/synchronize/rise and fall in sync/
Maybe I'm being a bit of a jerk but.. yeah?
The suspenseful parts of the story raise your heart rate and the relaxed parts go t'other way
I'd be interested in knowing if this could be used for diagnosing mental disorder things such as sociopathy maybe

#8A silly study? But think of the use cases! The Wristband monitors everyone's heat rate and knows the correct response to each media input. "It seems you have stopped paying attention to your targeted advertising. Shall I replay your ads now?"

Please drink a verification can.

I honestly will not be surprised when this comment gets turned into a start-up that gets funded...
either this or the other obvious dystopian application, monitoring employees attention in meetings.
