Many science-fiction television series and films—for instance, the Keanu Reeves-starrer "The Matrix" series—have depicted how certain knowledge and skills can be uploaded to the human brain, much like how information can be stored into computers. Thanks to science, this feat is slowly turning into reality.

Researchers from the HRL Laboratories in California have successfully fed data directly into the brain of human test subjects, enabling them to somewhat learn a very complex skill: flying a plane.

Researchers should spend 100 flying hours with their test subject before pubishing their idiotic findings.

Lol, I learned in a 150, my first Solo landing was a bit bumpy, but the other two that day were smooth. Once got to fly a Huey, but hovering was not an easy task!
