Found a way to straighten knowledge into the human brain

The concept of transferring memories, information, knowledge, into the human brain, makes him feel like he himself experienced that memory, which became famous after the Hollywood blockbuster sci-fi movie " Inception "(2010). Recently, however, US and Japanese scientists have done experiments to prove that the concept is much more realistic than we thought.

Scientists at Brown University in the United States have recently discovered a way to "transplant" memories into the human brain without even knowing it.

In collaboration with Japanese colleagues, Brown University's research team used a magnetic resonance machine (FMRI) to transmit information and knowledge to someone's brain, through the their visual cortex (the part of the brain responsible for image information).

The above procedure is called neural neuron decoding , or "DecNef".

Specifically, volunteers were shown a plate with a combination of horizontal and vertical stripes on a red, blue and gray background. After 3 days like that, they were asked to think of some color that they thought could make a big plate, plus a higher score.

In fact, all of their vision-related activities are closely monitored by scanners and scientists only allow the disc to grow when they notice a red signal.

After the process, the group of volunteers, when they reviewed the images of the stripes, had the same visual cortex activity as when they saw red.

The team hopes that the initial success in "squeezing" information into the human brain will pave the way for many practical applications in the future. Examples include educational applications, help people learn faster, or other therapy-related applications.
