Scientists Stimulate Brain To Remove Fear, Boost Confidence
Published: March 3, 2021
Technocrat scientists want to access the inner workings of the brain in order to control basic impulses via stimulation and AI. The potential for brainwashing using this technology is staggering. ⁃ TN Editor
If modern science conceived of a way to “pluck” unwanted fears, thoughts, and preferences from your mind, is that that something you would be interested in? It sounds impossible, but a new study on non-conscious brain stimulation may just make it a reality. Via a combination of artificial intelligence and brain scanning technology, scientists in Japan say they’ve discovered avenues to remove specific fears, boost confidence, and even alter individual preferences.
AI Joins Forces with fMRI to Decode Brain Dynamics Underlying Neurofeedback
Computer enhanced false-colour Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of two mid-sagittal and one axial (cross sectional) sections through the head of a normal 46 year-old woman, showing structures of the brain, spine & facial tissues. Profiled features of the main part of the brain include the convoluted surface of the cerebral cortex, the corpus callosum, pons & medulla, structures of the brainstem, which are continuous with the spinal cord. The cerebellum, the centre of balance & coordination, lies to the right of the brainstem.

What if you could get rid of your fear of heights, acquire a preference for exercise, and brighten your outlook on life?
Machine learning-based training of brain activity has led to exciting developments: reduce fears, change one s preferences, or even increase one s confidence. Unfortunately, data to better understand the mechanisms of brain self-regulation remain scarce. A group of researchers from Japan, the US and Canada have joined forces to release the largest existing dataset of the sort.
Decoded Neurofeedback is a novel approach to treating a variety neurological disorders using a combination of artificial intelligence and brain scanning technology, and new research suggests it may help PTSD patients.
