Satellite-Based Neural Monitoring, a free technology course on Tomo

Satellite-Based Neural Monitoring

Like Duolingo, but for Satellite-Based Neural Monitoring. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.

For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.

24 levels across 4 sections, about 48 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Signal Propagation and Physics, Orbital Infrastructure and Targeting, Decoding and Interpretation, and Countermeasures and Sovereignty.

What you'll learn

Key ideas in Satellite-Based Neural Monitoring

  • Microwave frequencies in the K-band (20-40 GHz) are heavily absorbed by water vapor
  • The L and S bands (1-4 GHz) fall within a transparent atmospheric window for neural telemetry
  • Higher frequencies offer better resolution but fail to penetrate heavy cloud cover or humid air
  • The skull's dielectric constant causes it to act as a physical low-pass filter for EM radiation
  • High-frequency neural components are dampened by the bone's impedance more than lower frequencies
  • Satellite sensors must compensate for the loss of high-frequency 'sharpness' in the raw neural stream
  • Selecting the optimal frequency band for satellite-to-brain link persistence
  • Predicting the impact of the skull's dielectric properties on signal frequency
  • Signal loss increases exponentially as the moisture density of the medium increases
  • Water molecules resonate at microwave frequencies, scattering the neural signal
  • Liquid water (rain/pools) provides significantly higher attenuation than water vapor (humidity)
  • Multipath interference creates time-delayed 'ghost' signals that mimic neural patterns
  • Ranking environmental conditions by their impact on signal attenuation
  • Ionospheric scintillation causes Faraday rotation of electromagnetic waves
  • Neural signals have a specific polarization that is altered as they pass through the Earth's magnetic field
  • Identifying strategies to mitigate urban multipath interference

Piercing the Atmospheric Veil

You're tracking a target through a tropical storm. Why might your K-band (20-40 GHz) sensors suddenly go dark?
