The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, is launching a $70 million program to help military personnel with psychiatric disorders using electronic devices implanted in the brain.
The goal of the five-year program is to develop new ways of treating problems including depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, all of which are common among service members who fought in Iraq or Afghanistan.
“We’ve seen far too many times where military personnel have neuropsychiatric disorders and there’s very few options,” says Justin Sanchez, a program manager at DARPA.
DARPA is known for taking on big technological challenges, from missile defense to creating a business plan for interstellar travel. In 2013, the agency announced it would play a big role in President Obama’s initiative to explore the human brain.

Nothing new. They already have implants for pain management, Parkinson's, Epilepsy, spinal stimulation etc. Medronic and other companies like Neuropace have been developing products for a long time and a prime example is the RNS® System for epilepsy. DARPA will just use the 70mil in partnership with one of the aforementioned companies. 70 mil can't even get a drug through phase one trials never mind an implant product.

The government will take credit for something else already being developed for Alzheimer's. They can't even treat wounded vets never mind controlling soldiers brains.
