"In an announcement that's going to be a boon to the tin-foil haberdashery business, scientists at the University of Washington (UW) have successfully built a non-invasive system to remotely control the actions of humans. On August 12, Professor Rajesh Rao, wearing an black and green EEG skullcap set to monitor the left motor cortex of the brain, which coordinates hand movement, mentally moved a finger to fire a cannon in a video game. He made no physical movement; he just thought about the action. The results were recorded and pinged across campus to the UW's Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, where fellow researcher Andrea Stocco was wearing a rather fetching purple swimming cap containing a transcranial magnetic stimulation coil. Stocco wore earplugs to reduce outside stimuli and his hand rested on top of a standard keyboard."


pretty interesting, what do you think?

Veeeery interestink corson!

At least with this new fangled device... I'd wager its a ways off before I need to don my shiny tin foil hat though.

"There's no possible way the technology that we have could be used on a person unknowingly or without their willing participation."

Right.

This is just an attempt to do technologically (thus artificially) what we could do naturally, mentally, if we had the spiritual knowledge and discipline. That we don't suggests to me that we are not meant to. Yet. Which makes this kind of technology (like so much else) potentially very dangerous in human hands.

So the Movie Gamer has just moved from fiction to possible reality? Albiet they are using a skull cap instead of nano particles like in the movie.. Interesting indeed...

I think this is interesting Corson,

I've been researching related topics a lot, recently, due to my experiences.
