Through a technique called ‘optogenetics’, scientists used light to stimulate neurons. They could trigger symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in mice and even restoring normal movement in a Parkinsonian mouse.

More advanced research is using low-frequency radio frequency to control neural activity. (read: remote mass mind control)

Think about it. What are the things you would do if you get hold of a mind-control machine? If ethical values have no place in the scientist’s lab, can ‘coveted’ and dangerous technologies become a reality?
