Researchers are developing a brain editing device to give us read/write privileges to our minds

Neuroscientists at the University of California Berkely are building a device that’ll hack our brains so we can ‘edit’ what we feel and remember. It looks like we’ve drawn “Total Recall” in the ‘which horrifying Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi movie will scientists recreate today’ lottery. The researchers successfully activated and deactivated specific groups of neurons in the brains of mice by projecting holograms directly onto them through a “window” in the animals’ heads. This method allows the team to manipulate precise neuron groups, hundreds of times per second, in an imitation of the brain’s natural response to stimulus. And this research…
