I'm at the field of wetware. There's a mythical paper that pretty much every modern lab has saved. It's quite cryptic and ahead of its time. It was published late 70's under a pseudonym. No one knows what happened with the people that must have worked on it. I wonder if they were acquired by Stern and were part of this speech synthesiser.
All the references in the paper lead to other papers under pseudonyms, I wonder if they all worked under the Stern R&D.
What's the name of the paper? What's the pseudonym? That timeline lines up...
I know this paper is cryptic, but what are it's contents? Why do all these labs have it saved? I'm sorry, it's just been so long since I've thought about this at all- but now that I'm thinking about it again, I'd love to know more!

I went looking at our cabinet, here is a quick scan of the first page and the pivotal figure. Tomorrow I might have more time to go over it again and summarise it. 
A network of biothings... This might be what I was looking for! If you have time, please let me know what else you find.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Some people posted like. Images they said were generated by these bio computing chips.
They kind of made me ill to look at, if only because, like... They're almost dreams, right?
I want to know how alive they were, I guess. If they used them for this game, like. God. What are even the ethical implications of something like this? Were they involving kids in this testing?
I don't know. Let me know what you come up with, please.
Pretty sure they looked something like this. The pictures, I remember. Don't remember what the percentages symbolized, but like. This is kind of why I reached out, here. Feels related.

Most of the paper is about media composition, neuron connection inducing, manipulation of neuron to promote binding to wires. There's some talk about neuron and neuron surrogate architectures for creating chemical artificial intelligence. However, the last figure and some of the issues they ran into seem relevant. The last sentence goes on to describing several methods they tried for removing/reducing the oscillations (Changing the power source to DC, adding a faraday cage around the biochip, reducing ions in the media). All method showed minimal improvement at best.
Also I've been thinking of the weird noise. What if it is just a spiral modulation on the frequency (Or oscillations that can't be removed) creating the nauseating effect and the weird, synthesized speech sounds.
