Comments on Wireless Mind Control Possible?
Where will remote mind control lead us? (Read
the complete story)
| "Did you ever have a hard time locating the correct remote? Just so you'll know, here's what the remote for your brain controller looks like:
Of course, that's the Star Trek version, not the MIT version..." |
| "why is research even being done in this field? what greater sin could you even conceive of than controlling another's thoughts? it is the ultimate violation. terribly unethical, infinitly impractical. why would you ever create something like this? pure tyranny." (AllIsOne 1/4/2012 8:49:52 AM) |
| "Here are some of the goals for this research: "Boyden's mind-control helmet runs 16 LEDs from wireless power, and can be controlled from a USB base station. He is able to control the roaming rodents over long periods of time, and can scale up neuroscience by controlling dozens of them at once in order to study long-term processes such as sleep, epilepsy or even Alzheimer's. His work may go on to inform the better design of pacemakers or electrical implants for controlling the symptoms of Parkinson's disease."
By the way, AllisOne, I appreciate everyone's comments. However, I don't appreciate having to delete 100 copies of your comments. Don't be a jerk." |
| "How does controlling dozens of brains at once help in studying sleep, epilepsy, or Alzheimer's? This sounds like sheer hubris and very sinister. As a scientist myself, I would doubt this researcher's motives." (Tyson 1/7/2012 12:22:28 AM) |
| "Here's Ed Boyden's statement from his web page: "I lead the Synthetic Neurobiology Group at MIT. We are inventing new tools for analyzing and engineering brain circuits. We are devising technologies for controlling specific neural circuit elements, to understand their causal contribution to normal and pathological neural computations. Our inventions include 'optogenetic' tools we developed for activation and silencing of neural circuits with light, and noninvasive devices using novel physical principles to control neural activity. We are using our inventions to enable systematic approaches to neuroscience, revealing how entire neural circuits operate to generate behavior, and empowering new therapeutic strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Our entrepreneurial approach to tackling clinically and philosophically important problems will hopefully yield a better understanding of the nature of human existence, and enable the ability to engineer improvements thereupon.""
