Scientists learning to 'write' skills to human brain noninvasively, like Matrix


Researchers have developed a groundbreaking technique using brain imaging and neurofeedback to induce learning without conscious effort.

Participants were placed in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine, which allows for the monitoring of brain activity in real-time. This feedback mechanism effectively “sculpted” the participants’ brain activity, guiding them toward the desired pattern. While this technology is still in its early stages, it represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of learning and brain plasticity.
