A team at MIT was able to tap into the areas of the hippocampus that have to do with the mouse is memory, by tapping into it they were able to use optogenetics to stimulate false memories. This has huge implications, it tells me that they’re able to not only erase memories but create them as well, this isn’t all bad but it’s not necessarily all good. If you have post traumatic stress disorder they can target the different neurons that are associated with that memory and pretty much get rid of it, on the other hand they can implant false memories in your mind making you think you’re a government spy or an obedient citizen. Either way this kind of research can lead to a very shocking chain of events, either it can do good things for the world of depression by erasing very traumatic events from a person’s memory or it can cause a person to lose their identity altogether. It realistically just depends on which way they want to go with it, at the end of the day this kind of technology can easily take over the world. If you implant this in the right people and put them in a position of power you essentially have control over the majority of the country.
