Q: How long before this technology will one day be used by men on earth for nefarious purposes?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9"Scientists have been able to conduct “mind control” remotely in an incredible world-first experiment.
Now, however, an experiment involving mice has shown how the change of a magnetic field was able to alter the behavior of animals fitted with special “switches” inside their brains.At the change of the magnetic field, mice were able to be told to feed, socialize with others and act with maternal instincts as researchers targeted areas of the brain associated with these actions.
Researchers from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Yonsei University in South Korea have engineered mice that have nanoparticle-activated “switches” inside their brains.
The technology has been dubbed “Nano-MIND” and combines genetics, nanoparticles, and magnetic fields. It allows researchers to remotely activate circuits of the brain.
It is hoped the groundbreaking technology could provide future treatments for disorders that affect emotions, social behaviors and appetite.
Jinwoo Cheon, senior author and director of the IBS Center for Nanomedicine, explained: “This is the world's first technology to freely control specific brain regions using magnetic fields.”
