Researchers boost human mental function with brain stimulation
While gene therapists and ethicists wrestle over mental enhancement, researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed physical means for controlling certain behaviors. This approach aims at mental illness and epilepsy and the results are neither permanent nor heritable as germline fixes could be. “The team developed algorithms, so that after stimulation, they could track patients’ cognitive control abilities, both from their actions and directly from their brain activity. The controller method provided boosts of stimulation whenever the patients were doing worse on a laboratory test of cognitive control.” MORE
