Researchers ‘Hack’ Into the Brain’s Electrical Signals

A team from University of Chicago figured out a new way to use light and nanotechnology to "hack" into brain function. For decades, neuroscientists and engineers have wanted to uncover the secrets of the human brain. Pop culture and science fiction films only serve to play into the understanding of the idea that the human brain can be 'hacked'. But one team of researchers might have actually gotten the world significantly closer to manipulating how our brain functions. Researchers from the University of Chicago used tiny, light-powered silicon wires to reshape how the brain responds. One day, the process could…
