This article came to my attention today, and reminded me a lot of the New Wave Resistance sightings from last year.
This article came to my attention today, and reminded me a lot of the New Wave Resistance sightings from last year. It got me to thinking, could something like this be used as "baby steps" towards the more permanent looking enhancements seen in use by the NWR?
Imagine an agent being approached by leaders of their local Resistance, and being offered to try something like this for a while. If the agent takes to the technology (or if the technology bonds with the agent...?) then they might be slowly encouraged towards a more permanent solution?
It's easy to view NWR as a more "radical" kind of agent, but I could certainly see using a series of gentle pushes to find recruits as well.

Marketing could turn it into something people would want - like a PoGo plus you don't have to hold in your hand. It makes you stealthier as an agent and keeps your hands warm in winter. Build a little more functionality into progressively more invasive modules, and viola!
ReplyDeleteHere's an interesting article that popped up on my feed today re disengagement of the hippocampus using GPS navigation. (Instead of the normal organic mechanisms of spacial mapping. My undergrad emphasis was on neuroscience and human genomics so I really dig this research. )
ReplyDeleteBy relying on GPS to direct you to a location you're disengaging the hippocampus. This is simple neuroscience, not even taking into account the potential effects of XM/CM. THIS is the kind of thing that effects non-sensitive field agents like myself who are not necessarily using the app to navigate, but may be using GPS to get to the general area of portals-of-interest. The point is, getting your head out of the scanner, looking around and making mental notes of your spatial location engages the hippocampus. Your brain subconsciously starts routing alternative paths and cataloging places you've been, as well as filling in gaps when you do this organically. Learning the locations of portals relative to "real world" landmarks does the opposite, because you're using that spatial mapping. Noting the appearance/disappearance of portals is also your hippocampus engaging really engaging with your (XM) environment.
So, in regards to the neoresistance using peripheral implanted technology... I wonder if by integrating portal detection and manipulation into more of a "background" app and using "real world" visual cues they're bypassing that shutdown and optimizing the hippocampal growth. i.e. they're using technology to minimize exogenous "reshaping" of the brain via GPS.
