Q
INDICATE
THAT LIKE RATS HUMANS TOO
CAN BE MANIPULATED, AND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO CREATE
OR ANNIHILATE EVEN COMPLEX FEELINGS SUCH AS LOVE, ANGER, FEAR AND DEPRESSION BY
STIMULATING THE RIGHT SPOTS IN THE HUMAN BRAIN. The US military has recently initiated experiments
on implanting computer chips in people's brains, hoping to use this method to treat soldiers suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder. In Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, doctors have pioneered a novel treatment
for patients suffering from acute depression. They implant electrodes into the patient's brain, and wire them
to a minuscule computer implanted in the patient's chest. On receiving a command from the computer, the
electrodes transmit weak electric currents that paralyse the brain area
responsible for the depression.

This treatment does not always succeed,
but in some cases patients reported that the Feeling of Dark Emptiness that tormented
them throughout their lives disappeared as if by magic?! One patient complained that several
months after the operation he had a relapse & was overcome by severe depression. Upon inspection the
doctors found the source of the problem: the computer's battery had run out of power. Once they changed
the battery, the depression quickly melted away. Due to obvious ethical restrictions researchers implant
electrodes into human brains only under exceptional circumstances. Hence most relevant experiments on
humans are conducted using non-intrusive helmet-like devices (technically known as 'transcranial direct-
current stimulators'knipoog. The helmet is fitted with electrodes that attach to the outside of the scalp.
It produces weak electromagnetic fields & directs them
towards specific brain-areas, thereby
stimulating or inhibiting
select brain
activities.
