News Report | Ramola D | November 10, 2026
Professor Rafael Yuste, head of the US BRAIN Initiative and Director of the Neuro Rights Project at Columbia University, spoke with me in October 2020 about his work in neuro optical imaging which led up to his being selected to lead the US Brain Program, and about Neuro Rights, which he was working on with Chile–which became the first country to adopt these–and about Neurotechnology and AI becoming an inevitable part of the human brain and a common human future.
These are his views which are recorded in this podcast, not mine. I have since published my thoughts on Neuro Rights here, as Columbia’s advancement of the Transhumanist program for all became evident: “Neurorights” Foundation Announces Mental Augmentation for All via Recording and Manipulating Brain Processes: Basic Human Rights at High Risk of Being Removed.
I regret that I did not write a proper report on this podcast at the time it was aired as I usually did, for all my podcasts, especially the major ones, which this was one of. I think this was around the time of intensive COVID reportage which then became intensive COVID-mRNA-Vaccine reportage. This brief report is not intended to be more than a pointer to this podcast, which I recommend all view. I will report further on this podcast shortly and do intend to keep reporting and writing on these subjects.
One thing I must note with this report however is his response to my question toward the end about those in our communities reporting that they have been non-consensually brain-computer-interface-implanted and are being technologically abused also with Anti Persnnel Directed Energy Weapons–these are people suspecting and reporting use in brain experimentation projects. He responded that these people were probably mentally ill, the classic response of the media edifice which has sought to conceal human rights abuses related to brain experimentation and AP-DEW field weapons-testing for over 4 decades. But I was speaking to a neuroscientist involved in Brain Experimentation. I guess we can all connect the dots here, and the image revealed is not a salubrious one. I rather think now that all of the brain-experimenting Universities have ties to the DOD and sign NDAs for classified purposes.
In any case, I will continue to follow and report on his work, as also other aspects of the BRAIN Initiative programs. Please see the Neuro Rights article linked above for links to a report from Columbia on the involvement of the private sector in Neurotechnologies, which also needs further coverage.

Informative conversation with Dr. Rafael Yuste on how he came to influence the shaping of the US BRAIN initiative, the status of public-domain neuroscience today, his work in optical imaging, his projections of how BCI and AI will transform life in the future, his work with neuro-rights and reports on the latest in Chile, his interest in treating patients experiencing neurological and psychiatric problems with beneficent neuroscience.
