>Then, they shined a red light outside the skull and were able to activate neural circuits in the midbrain and brainstem at depths of up to 7 millimeters This appears to be extremely dangerous. One strong NIR lamp in a public space would drive people with this insane. Everyone would have to wear special hats. What if it was possible to implant memories this way? A new type of crime: catch someone, take their hats off, reprogram their brains and make them forget the hijacking occurred. A surgical implant seems way safer in practice.
