The government of the Russian Federation is developing a program for implanting microchips into the brain

The Russian government is developing a new federal program "Brain, Health, Intelligence, Innovation", which, among other things, is focused on on the development of "brain-computer" technologies, allowing microcomputers to be implanted into the human brain for direct transmission of information from external devices. The program was developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) together with the Moscow State University. Lomonosov and approved by Vladimir Putin. About it writes Kommersant.

This program involves the creation of software and hardware systems that allow you to control external devices directly using electrical signals from the brain. Also mentioned is the creation of human-technology interfaces for controlling complex systems (airplanes, NPP, cars) both directly and remotely, according to the principle of remote presence, an avatar.

Such technologies should allow people to work in inaccessible places with high radiation or space. Also, interfaces will be created that provide "independent formation of goals, assessment of situations, forecasting their development and decision-making."

This initiative will require 54 billion rubles, which should be received by 2029. The funds are planned to be allocated from the national projects "Science", "Demography", "Healthcare", "Labor productivity and employment support" and "Digital economy".
