NSA and CIA Psychopaths already DUPLICATED human brain and CREATED TWIN
DIGITAL AVATARS of millions of americans and global public on their
Quantum Computer HIVE AI Global Information Grid.

Every thought, emotion, perception and memory of millions of these
people's brains are AUTOMATICALLY registered in their TWIN DIGITAL
AVATARS for the last 40 yrs.

Westerners DON'T UNDERSTAND the MENTALITY of the EVIL WHITES in their
own governments.

Western CLOWNS have FREEDOMS to GOSSIP 24x7 and engage in sexual
perversions. Nothing more.

EVERY westerner LIVES IN FEAR of their REAL GOVT aka CIA NSA FBI MI5 MI6
ASIS ASIO CSIS etc.

Politicians Biden, Bojo, ScoMo, JusTrudeau have NO POWER other than
making SOCIAL POLICIES.

They are MERE PUPPETS "CUNNINGLY PROJECTED" as VERY POWERFUL to DECEIVE
the public that western countries are democracies.

The Quest to Make a Digital Replica of Your Brain

Digital twins are already used in manufacturing, industry, and
aerospace. Now a European project called Neurotwin wants to make virtual
copies of brains.

Digital twins—virtual representations of real-world things—are already a
mainstay in manufacturing, industry, and aerospace: There are digital
doppelgängers of cities, ports, and power stations. The term was first
introduced in 2010 by NASA researcher John Vickers in a report about
the agency’s technology road maps, and industry analysts estimate the
market for digital twins could reach nearly $50 billion by the year 2026.

It wasn’t long before the idea crept into biology. In 2016, Bill Ruh,
then-CEO of GE Digital, predicted that “we will have a digital twin at
birth, and it will take data off of the sensors everybody is running,
and that digital twin will predict things for us about disease and
cancer and other things.” A digital twin could inform tailored
treatments for a patient and predict how their disease might develop. It
could even be used to trial potential treatments, rather than testing
them on the patient—a process that can be filled with risk.

So far, these projects are mostly in their early stages. A research
program called Echoes, involving researchers in Europe, the United
Kingdom, and the United States, is working to build a digital heart.
Siemens Healthineers, a German medical device company, is aiming to do
the same. Dassault Systèmes, a French software company, teamed up with
the US Food and Drug Administration to approve what it calls “The Living
Heart.” Austrian company Golem is creating digital twins of vulnerable
people who live alone. The idea is that the digital twin continuously
monitors their health, alerting caregivers if they fall ill and need help.

Now researchers are shooting for the loftiest goal: to twin the brain.
Neurotwin, an EU-funded project, wants to design a computerized model of
an individual patient’s entire brain.

The Neurotwin team is hoping the model can be used to predict the
effects of stimulation for the treatment of neurological disorders,
including epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. They’re planning a clinical
trial that will kick off next year and create digital twins of about 60
patients with Alzheimer’s, who will receive a brain stimulation
treatment that has been optimized specifically for their brain. A second
clinical trial planned for 2023 will do the same, but for patients with
treatment-resistant focal epilepsy. Both are proof-of-concept trials to
determine whether the approach works and can improve treatment outcomes
for these patients. If successful, the team plans to extend their
technology to study other aspects of the brain, such as those involved
in multiple sclerosis, stroke rehabilitation, depression, and the
effects of psychedelics.

For about a third of epilepsy patients, drugs don’t help. Noninvasive
stimulation, in which electrical currents are painlessly delivered to
the brain, has been shown to help alleviate the frequency and intensity
of seizures. But the technology is still pretty new and needs some
refining. This is where a virtual brain could prove useful.

The digital avatar is essentially a mathematical model running on a
computer, says Giulio Ruffini, coordinator of the Neurotwin project and
chief science officer and cofounder of Neuroelectrics, a Spanish health
tech startup that is developing noninvasive therapies for neurological
disorders like epilepsy. To make a digital double for a patient with
epilepsy, the Neurotwin team takes about half an hour’s worth of MRI
data and about 10 minutes of EEG (electroencephalography) readings and
uses these to create a computer model that captures the electrical
activity of the brain, as well as to realistically simulate the brain’s
main tissues, including the scalp, skull, cerebrospinal fluid, and gray
and white matter.

The twin will include a network of embedded “neural mass models,” says
Ruffini. These, he says, are basically computational models of the
average behavior of many neurons connected to each other using the
patient's “connectome”—a map of the neural connections in the brain. In
the case of epilepsy, some areas of the connectome could become
overexcited; in the case of, say, stroke, the connectome might be
altered. Once the twin has been created, the team can use it to optimize
stimulation of the real patient’s brain “because we can run endless
simulations on the computer until we find what we need,” Ruffini says.
“It is, in this sense, like a weather forecasting computational model.”

For example, to improve treatment for an epilepsy patient, the person
would wear a headcap every day for 20 minutes as it delivers
transcranial electrical stimulations to their brain. Using the digital
twin, Ruffini and his team could optimize the position of stimulating
electrodes, as well as the level of current being applied.

Digital twinning any organ opens up a whole host of ethical questions.
For example, would a patient have the right to know—or to refrain from
knowing—if, say, their twin predicts that they’ll have a heart attack in
two weeks? What happens to the twin after the patient dies? Will it have
its own legal or ethical rights?

On the one hand, virtual body doubles provide us with exciting,
revolutionary pathways to develop new treatments, says ​​Matthias Braun,
an ethicist at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, who has
written about the ethics involved in the use of digital twins in health
care. “But, on the other hand, it provides us with challenges,” he
continues. For one thing, who should own a digital twin? The company
building it? “Or do you have a right to say, well, I refuse the use of
specific information or specific predictions with regard to my health
insurance or with regard to the use in other contexts? In order to not
be an infringement on autonomy or privacy, it is important that this
specific person has control of the use [of their digital twin],” he
says. Losing that control would result in what Braun dubs “digital slavery.”

Ana Maiques, the CEO of Neuroelectrics, says the company is already
grappling with the issue of what happens to the extremely personal data
a digital twin is built upon. “When you're doing these kinds of
personalizations, you have to ask difficult questions, right? Who's
going to own that data? What are you going to do with data?” she asks.

The project has enlisted researchers to dissect the ethical and
philosophical components of the endeavor, including Manuel Guerrero, a
neuroethicist at the University of Uppsala, Sweden. For Neurotwin, a
project based out of Europe, the data gathered will be protected by the
European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means
any use of the data requires the consent of its owner, Guerrero says.

Guerrero and his team are also exploring whether the term “digital
twin,” which was first coined for manufacturing, is still the most apt
term for copying something as intricate and dynamic as a living brain or
heart. Could its use lead to misunderstandings or raised expectations
within society? “[The brain] is much more complex than other types of
twins that are coming from the manufacturing system, so the notion of a
twin for the brain is something that, within the neuroscientific
community, is being debated,” he says.

And taking on the brain is many orders of magnitude more complex than
modeling the heart or kidney, in addition to being potentially more
ethically complex. “We are creating fairly sophisticated computational
models of the brain,” Ruffini says. “At some stage, I think it will
become blurry to what extent this digital twin is a digital twin or it's
a sentient being.”

Braun says it’s time to reckon with these thorny questions. “To me,
these are really important challenges we have to face now,” he says. “We
know what happens if you just say, ‘Well, just develop a technology—and
then we'll see,’” he adds, warning of the dangers that come with pushing
ethical and moral consequences off to a later date.

But the Neurotwin team says that, if done right, this digital twinning
could dramatically improve both patient outcomes and what we know about
tricky-to-treat brain disorders. “We are working to really help people
suffering from brain diseases from a completely different perspective,”
says Maiques. “We like to call it a new category of therapeutics, where
you're really using the power of physics and math to decode the brain.”
