Colorado Governor Jared Polis just signed a bill into law that will protect people’s brainwaves, the first legislation of its kind.

The accumulation of metabolic waste is a leading cause of numerous neurological disorders, yet we still have only limited knowledge of how the brain performs self-cleansing. Here we demonstrate that neural networks synchronize individual action potentials to create large-amplitude, rhythmic and self-perpetuating ionic waves in the interstitial fluid of the brain. These waves are a plausible mechanism to explain the correlated potentiation of the glymphatic flow1,2 through the brain parenchyma. Chemogenetic flattening of these high-energy ionic waves largely impeded cerebrospinal fluid infiltra...

Applications, there could be a dark side to this technology. the problem comes when we don't just measure the activity in the brain but we try to directly influence it. that means we could do things like read someone�*s thoughts or change their perception reality or even make them act against their free will. my biggest worry is mental privacy. you can imagine using them for interrogation, for example. you ask a question, just by the image the person recalls, they can figure out what the person is thinking. technology companies have jumped into neurotech in a big way and it also means that t...

Technology companies have jumped into neurotech in a big way and it also means that they are very keen on getting their hands on mental data. a neural data. and i think that should be protected. it may sound far—fetched but elon musk is already working towards writing to the brain to augment human knowledge and another doctor has taken control of a mouse�*s mind and is campaigning for ethical frameworks and strict regulations. this type of technology is so powerful this goes to the heart of what makes us human which is the human mind. this is the first time that the humanity has technology...

Does it need a bit of work, yes. but i'm tempering that with about that i just sat here and controlled things with my brain and it's incredible. but despite some amazing applications, there could be a dark side to this technology. the problem comes when we don't just measure the activity in the brain but we try to directly influence it. that means we could do things like read someone�*s thoughts or change their perception reality or even make them act against their free will. my biggest worry is mental privacy. you can imagine using them for interrogation, for example. you ask a question, ju...
