False memories have been implanted into mice, scientists say.

A team was able to make the mice wrongly associate a benign environment with a previous unpleasant experience from different surroundings.

The researchers conditioned a network of neurons to respond to light, making the mice recall the unpleasant environment.

Reporting in Science, they say it could one day shed light into how false memories occur in humans.

The brains of genetically engineered mice were implanted with optic fibres in order to deliver pulses of light to their brain. Known as optogenetics, this technique is able to make individual neurons respond to light.

Soon, political reconditioning will become a science. The economy will grow more efficient and crime rates will drop to zero, when authorities begin broadcasting special conditioning signals across the airwaves and into our brain implants. There will be no dissent because for once, everyone will fully agree with everyone else. Assimilation is guaranteed. Do not resist, citizen.

Worms can gain memories after eating other worms. The practice of implanting memories has been going on for some time, in one form or another. I do not think we have to worry about social conditioning/political reconditioning until they have perfected thought-control/impulse-control via media formats.

Highlander has been doing this like forever dawg.

But in reality, the masses of stupid people will be better of with this memory scheme.

Can you find me a link for that?


The technology highlighted by Igor is an important precursor to true VR games. It is also the precursor to extracting information from a captive's brain, of interest especially to intelligence agencies. Maybe courts of law someday?

I am not sure that extraction and reprogramming could be done through TV. Maybe true VR cyber space it could.


Regarding the thread, current research includes experiements to view the images seen through a cat's eyes on a computer screen. Some research in Japan has used human subjects for the same experiment. Here's more about it:
