TLDR; not exactly.. they didn't figure out how to upload knowledge, they figured out that if you stimulate certain parts of the brain associated with learning certain tasks while you are trying to actually learn how to do that thing then you learn 33% faster than placebo.

In this case they were not able to just have you stare at a wall and suddenly you learn how to do something from electrical stim.


Thank you for actually reading the article (I assume) and letting the rest of us know what it's about.

Really you could have said anything here and nobody would be the wiser.


Maybe we can start with a broadcast of how to use our turn signals while driving.


I just raged about this 10 minutes ago while on my way to the office.


I know Kong-Fu.
