Some tech reviewers have been comparing its ambition-enhancing or emotionally centering effects to those of coffee or marijuana but without the downsides.…
Researchers from Switzerland have developed an innovative gene regulation device operated via brain waves. Researchers led by Martin Fussenegger, biotechnology and biomechanics professor of the Department of Biosystems at Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, developed a gene network that uses brain waves to control gene expression or the conversion…
The ability to read people’s minds still belongs to science fiction, but, in fact, neuroscience has already taken tangible steps toward making it a reality. Here are some of the recent technological advances that allowed researchers to “crack” the human mind. 1. Extracting words directly from the human brain Neuroscientists…
While everyone marvels over the Internet and mobile device technology, medical breakthroughs are happening nearly as fast. In fact, it's quite common for most technologies to be adapted to service other practical functions in various devices. It's a cohesive development as one improvement for a specific use is augmented to…

Could electronic telepathy and telekinesis soon become a reality? Scientists say that we may soon be able to control flying drones with our minds and communicate almost telepathically via smartphones, thanks to temporary electronic tattoos. Todd Coleman, associate professor of bioengineering at the University of California, is developing non-invasive means to…
Telekinesis, or moving objects with the mind, is this possible? Some people truly believe that any object can be controlled with thought alone. If you are convinced that only heroes of science fiction movies are able to move objects by the power of thought, it is time to get rid of…
How many times we wished to be able to contact someone without words… New company for scientific and military research plans to make the dream come true by giving us a possibility to send a text or audio message by thought. The technology of so-called synthetic telepathy is based on…
