This technique requires genetically modifying the neurons to make them sensitive to the beam. Given the way neurons work, it isn't something that would work very well if you tried to apply it as a gene therapy, either.
While I fully expect such a thing would be abused by governments, this is not that thing.
I also suspect in general this would not prove useful even so. In a lab, where the EM environment can be controlled, it may work great. But there's not much utility to a government to a brain switch that is flipped by going outside in strong sunlight.
- pyinstallwoes 5y agoA not switch leads to universal logic gate needs. All they need is to rely on a flip state to program any state. That’s identical to a current in your example (outside). Which would mean by programming the state inside, they can predictably set the state outside. Bourne engage.
