Remote for Humans!

The above news might sound like a spoof to you but the American Government's DARPA has made it a possibility.
According to the Department of Defense's recent blog post, the military is interested in developing remote control techniques using ultrasound... for soldiers. Arizona State University neuroscientist William Tyler has been working on the project for several years, and now, DARPA is getting involved as well. Tyler and his team have developed a transcranial pulsed ultrasound capable of stimulating brain circuits from outside of the brain, and it can target deeper parts of the brain than past devices. The prototypes are small enough to be placed inside of a helmet, and the plan is to improve its spatial resolution with DARPA's new infusion of funding.
The power of the instrument is such that if the soldier is standing in intense heat, it can make him feel as if he isn't feeling any heat or make a wounded soldier feel no pain. MAN! DO SOLDIERS NEED SUCH A PUNISHMENT? I  mean a wounded soldier is made to feel no pain so that he can fight to the last minute and die of the wound he didnt even know of.
  Or worse think what would happen if enemy got an access to all the chips. They can make the soldiers die of  pain that they dont really have! I just hope that the project is scrapped as it will cause much more harm than good
