For all those budding sleuths out there I need you to answer me a question, who or what is Neurocam? I know this may sound simple, but believe me these people weave a mysterious web.

Good point Orbitrux, my question is did they lie on their website - it's very possible considering they registered the server with false information, and combining that with the lack of information they give to those not registered, it appears that for some reason they are obssessed with secrecy, considering this possibility, they may well have something to hide (even if it's basically worth nothing to many others) - so the question becomes very simple - "What would (and maybe do) they have to hide?" Once that is known that question is answered the next question is "Why hide the information?" So basically it appears that they're either very odd and secretive for no reason, or they're very scary. Without knowing which they are, I'd say they're very mysterious for now, but they will have one of the other labels later.

There must be SOMEONE that has figured it out. I am going to follow the links that someone posted here. This is killing me.
I received note. Something about human resources evaluating my application and I will hear back. I didn't have to do anything yet.

I received the same note as jstkdn after plotting in the bits and peices for registration. Juding by how little information I /did/ give them, and the nature of he e-mail, my idea is that it might be part of an Alternative Reality Game.
There are several games like this that make you scour the web for sites and the like that seem real enough, or even not at all related, until you actually look close. Can anyone confirm this?
Or are you folks actually doing work?

Paxton what is your RL location? I am curious how whatever it is is going to differ from what Ace gets. And when our assignments start to get different.

It seems like a lot of you are receiving the same crap. It sounds like a bunch of hype just to get people involved in whatever it is.

After about an hour or so of research over the past few days I have found many "ideas" (emphasis on ideas) that have surrounded Neurocam.
1. It is a game.
2. It is someone having fun with its participants minds (thus the mind thing) by making them do random tasks. (i.e. putting pictures in books - some takes the picture and puts it somewhere else - someone else takes the pic and puts it somewhere else - etc.)
3. The whole thing is some real organization.(though the site says they do nothing illegal)
Has anyone just tried e-mailing them with a ton of questions?

One of the most interesting points I've heard relating to Neurocam is "that you have some of the most rewarding experiences doing things that you wouldn't normally do". I must admit this has been creepy/fun since it started and I'm going to see where it takes me, and kicking and screaming I'm gonna take you with me. When I can! If I can!, or if Neurocam says I can! or maybe not. OK, we'll just see what happens

I also signed up, and received the email saying my application is being reviewed.
Given the fact that I simply gave them my email address and age, along with country I lived in, there is NO way this can be anything BUT a game. In today's technological world of fake email addresses and internet cafes, there's no way for a company, whether it's funded by a governmental agency or not, to do any sort of background check based on that little information. But I'll keep you informed, just like everyone else who is trying it!
