Researchers at a Harvard research laboratory announced earlier today that they have seen the first successes with mind control technology. Obviously this research lab is funded in part by a
Ryan Kopf world domination grant.
The article explaining it details how brain-signals from one machine can then be wireless transmitted to another machine which has the ability to control neurons in the target - essentially mind control, but on a smaller, more targeted scale.
In the experiments, humans looking at a computer screen could cause the tail in a rat to twitch at will, with a delay of about 1.5 seconds. The technology is currently bulky, but following
Moore's law, the tech will likely be mobile-sized in 6-10 years.
The technology could eventually be applied to humans, possibly without their knowledge.
Little do these researchers know, mind control has been around for a long time. It's called
Television.
