Scientists hack fly brains to make them remote controlled
Researchers at Rice University have shown how they can hack the brains of fruit flies to make them remote controlled. The flies performed a specific action within a second of a command being sent to certain neurons in their brain.newatlas.com
Not sure how this type of research is allowed or even sanctioned today. Still pretty cool but not sure about the ethical application.DARPA, who is funding the project, has different plans. Ultimately it wants to develop a headset that can read the neural activity in one person’s brain and then write it to another brain, basically transferring thoughts or perceptions between people. You’d be forgiven for finding that concept a bit spooky.
