Some people fear that there is too much digital technology in our daily lives. But avoiding such devices is no longer possible. Does humanity have a chance to create such a technology that will make it possible to control people’s minds?

If technology continues to evolve, it’s possible to implant chips in people’s brains in the future. Thanks to such chips, we will be able to interact with computers only with the power of thought. Theoretically, it is possible to create something similar.

Already today, microchips and similar devices are placed in the brain to perform various processes related to brain activity. For example, to record, transmit, stimulate or inhibit activity in certain areas of the brain.

Yes, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of people with epilepsy. This was done to make it easier to record and predict brain activity that could lead to seizures. Implantable devices are also placed in the brain to treat Parkinson’s disease, and the use of such a method for depression is also being investigated.

Thanks to brain implants, people who have lost the ability to move some parts of their body and feel objects when touched, have the opportunity to regain these functions.

Of course, there are a number of hurdles to overcome before the brain-computer interface becomes a reality. First, each brain is unique and develops in its own way. In addition, it is not entirely clear what such chips will be made of, which are placed in the brain. Finally, we are still a long way from the moment when implanting a chip in the brain to perform certain actions will be more practical and convenient than performing the same actions with the hands. But creating such a technology is theoretically possible.
