Scientists developed first remote device that can control human minds

Scientists in South Korea developed the first remote device with a long-range and large volume that can control human minds. They aim to apply this technology to non-surgical medical treatments.

This is a scientific breakthrough with the development of the first remote mind-controlling gadget. It shows the representation of the human brain. This device uses magnetic fields that make it possible to control a person’s brain from a long distance.

Scientists tested this device on female mice participants and evaluated the technology by inducing maternal instincts in participants.

They subjected lab mice to magnetic fields to decrease their appetite. It caused the mice to lose 10% of their body weight. Hence, this became the first technology in the world to use magnetic fields to control specific brain regions freely.

A team of scientists at Korea’s Institute for Basic Science (IBS) developed this first remote device which has never been heard before. However, they named this device “Nano-Magnetogenetic Interface for NeuroDynamics,” or “Nano-MIND.”

Dr. Cheon Jinwoo is the head of the IBS Centre for Nanomedicine in South Korea and a researcher for this project. He stated that he also intends to use the new hardware for several healthcare applications where it is crucial.

He also said they expect the extensive use of this remote device in research to understand brain functions and complicated artificial neural networks.

Moreover, researchers may use this remote device to research two-way brain-computer interface technologies and new treatments for neurological disorders.

However, scientists used magneto-mechanical genetics (MMG) technology which helped Dr. Cheon and his team of researchers develop their brain-manipulating device.

Dr. Felix Leroy is a scientist at the Institute of Neuroscience in Spain. He stated it has also become widely acceptable for medical professionals to use magnetic fields to control biological systems.

According to Felix, magnetic fields have also been applied to manipulate the human brain in various fields. It includes magnetic stimulation, magnetic hypothermia for cancer treatment, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
