We can now zap the brain with just heat and magnets - no wires required

"A month later, the nanoparticles were still able to stimulate the brain. The team is now monitoring the mice to see how long the effects could last and how safe the technique is long term. The nanoparticles are already approved for use in people, for example, during MRI imaging and cancer treatment. "So far, there have been no side effects," she says"


Injected into the bloodstream.

Yep...uh oh

Who will be the first...

"Eventually, the team might be able to further refine the method by injecting different particles across regions of the brain. Each particle would respond to a separate amplitude and frequency of the magnetic field oscillation. That would allow someone to first stimulate one brain area, then switch settings to stimulate another, and explore the effects."

Hey IWTB,...looks like they can load a brain up, give someone a joystick and start lighting up folks.

Amazing really, but worrisome. They say nanoparticles but small machines are being tested as well I read.

Brave New World my friend.

I'll stick to Jalapenos
