For ages human beings have had a great interest for the human brain. Frightening stories about brain operations to people without narcosis have been going in the round. Clairvoyants are trying to look into peoples minds and in fairly tales the mind is controlled by evil monsters. If you thought that this is all fantasy, you might be a little shocked about this blog..
The latest developments in science is not only reading a mind, but also controlling a mind.. Scientists can control the movements of a rat. This is an unique interface between animal and machine. The scientists are guiding the rat wirelessly by sending signals from a laptop computer to his brain. By stimulating the right brain area, the rat turns right. By stimulating the left brain area, the rat turns left. The rat does have a choice, but when it does its asked, the rat is rewarded by stimulating his pleasure centre. Scholars believe that this development is an huge development in understanding the brain. I think that those developments are frightening because, as you will be able to read in my next blog, these new findings are also implemented on human beings! I would not be pleased if somebody was controlling my mind...
