Technology put straight into the brain type Matrix

US researchers are developing a simulation device that can deliver information directly to the human brain and teach them new skills in a short time.

In the science fiction Matrix movie, the protagonist named Neo can learn kung fu only seconds after the martial arts is loaded directly into his brain. Researchers at the HRL in California say they have found similar technology in the film.

The scientists studied the electrical signals in the brain of a trained pilot, and then inserted the data into the brains of new study subjects piloting the plane on a real flight simulator. In a study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience at the end of February, subjects receiving brain stimulation through a lead-on electrode cap improved the ability to drive and respond better to tasks 33% the rest.

"Our system is the first technology to come in the form of brain stimulation . It looks like a science fiction film, but the development of the system is based on solid science," said Dr. Matthews. Said Phillips, who led the study.

"The specific task we are looking at is driving a plane, which requires a coherent combination of awareness and movement." When you learn something, your brain changes physically. The birth and fortification of the brain is called soft nerve . Some of the functions of the brain such as speech and memory are located in specific areas of the brain with the size of the little finger. " Phillips said.

Dr. Phillips believes that brain stimulation can be used for activities ranging from learning to driving, during pre-test preparation and language learning.

"It's been a long time since the ancient Egyptians, 4,000 years ago, used electric fish to stimulate and alleviate the pain, but scientific studies of this method began. since the 2000s and we are aiming to customize the stimulus in the most efficient way, " Phillips shares.
