Remote Mind Control Achieved by Scientists in Shocking Experiment

Mind control sounds like something out of science-fiction or maybe some sort of supernatural power, but it’s becoming a potential reality. Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea are working on a potentially revolutionary way to remotely control the minds of lab mice. That’s a long way away from controlling a human’s mind, but it’s also a significant step beyond prior experiments in controlling how lab mice act.

Prior efforts at influencing the minds of lab mice involved implanting electrodes and sending electrical signals to different parts of the brain. The remotely controlled mind-control technology researchers are developing does away with wires to directly tap into the neural pathways of lab mice. That’s good because wires are very invasive, limit potential movement in the subject, and could lead to medical complications.

The remote mind-control system under development uses a Magnetogenetic Interface for NeuroDynamics. The researchers just call it “Nano-MIND.” The full name is very descriptive and suggests the use of a magneto and genetic interface to stimulate the neural pathways within a lab mouse’s brain. The intent is to enable researchers to study how they might remotely activate the brain’s neural circuits and affect how the subject mouse acts.

Instead of using wired electrical signals the stimulate the mouse’s brain, the experimental Nano-MIND enables remote stimulation with the help of magnetic fields. The Nano-MIND system is under development to make it possible for scientists to create artificial neural networks and better understand how the brain works. It also might help researchers to develop new ways to treat neurological disorders. . .

The Nano-MIND system integrates ion channels into targeted cells within specific areas of a test subject’s brain. The magnetic fields activate the ion channels within the subject’s brain cells to change its behavior in a type of mind control. Scientists can use a very small actuator to use magnetism to activate the ion channels that are placed within particular neural circuits within the test subject’s brain.
