so in other words, Scientists have confirmed the validity of the DARPA mind control program
Call me crazy, but I believe they have been working on this for a long time, and have actually been using it. It may explain the increased number of military classified suicides, PTSD and clinical depression veterans.
Maybe they have taken to playing with our minds to another level.
Cell is an apocalyptic horror novel published by American author Stephen King in 2006. The story follows a New England artist struggling to reunite with his young son after a mysterious signal broadcast over the global cell phone network turns the majority of his fellow humans into mindless vicious animals.

Whats more disturbing is the fact that so many people no this thread are advocating using this on people they dont agree with.....
Proving more and more that you arent actually allowed to have a different opinion in this country, with out people making an enemy out of you, or wanting you silenced.....
Thats the REAL problem in this country, not the opinions themselves.....

Perhaps, as with so many things, the issue isn't necessarily the tools themselves, but how we use them.
When all of our time is spent battling over ideological moral constructs applied to inanimate objects, there is little time left over to consciously approach the situation and see if there is a more beneficial course of action beyond just acceptance or rejection.
This applies to both those who might abuse technology to control, as well as those who might be manipulated.

So if you lose part of your brain, you become a liberal.

Funny if you disable parts of people's brains, they loose common sense
"As expected, we found that when we experimentally turned down the posterior medial frontal cortex, people were less inclined to reach for comforting religious ideas despite having been reminded of death."
When researchers used magnetic energy to shut down the brain’s threat perception, nearly a third of patients were more tolerant to immigrants. More said they didn’t believe in God.
These researchers sought to do the opposite—to temporarily disable one part of the brain (the part that responds to threats) and measure its effect on beliefs and prejudices connected to them.
Testing the effect of shutting down the part of the brain that forms judgments based on threats required first presenting threats. After receiving their respective doses of TMS, participants were asked to respond to questions about their own death. Previous studies have shown the threat of death is capable of directly affecting a person’s belief in religion. Therefore, shutting down the part of the brain that registers this threat—they theorized—would reduce the need to believe in God.
In both cases, their predictions rang true. In the participants whose pMFC was temporarily shut down, 32.8 percent fewer expressed belief in God, angels, or heaven. Some 28.5 percent more displayed a positive response toward the immigrant who was critical of America, compared with the control group.
When we disrupted the brain region that usually helps detect and respond to threats, we saw a less negative, less ideologically motivated reaction to the critical author and his opinions.”
