US scientists have found a way to control flies remotely by rewiring their brains. The long-term goal of this research is to create methods for non-invasively activating particular human brain regions for medical purposes.
According to a press release, a research team composed of specialists from some of the top institutions in the United States has discovered a wireless method that facilitates the control of neurons in a fly's brain in less than a second.
As a result of advancements in our understanding of how the brain functions, scientists are looking into ways to leverage this functionality to perform activities that have never been done before in human history.
For instance, according to Interesting Engineering, a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) aims to develop headgear technology that can read and write neural activity for a different person.
