We are getting better at understanding how our brains work and are therefore getting better at hacking them. For example, doctors can treat Parkinson’s disease with brain electrodes and relieve symptoms of depression with magnetic pulses. Paralyzed patients learn to control robot arms thanks to brain implants, while healthy subjects lie in the MRI scanner and play Pong against each other using their brain signals.
In the book Hack your brain Science journalist Stan van Pelt describes how these revolutionary technologies work, what is already possible and what we can expect in the future. Maybe we can learn a new language by simply putting a chip in our brain and communicate directly with each other through our thoughts. But are you still yourself when you influence your brain in this way? And what if someone else hacks your brain?
