Tiny brain chips are set to be implanted in overweight patients in a bid could curb the rise of obesity.
A team of scientists from Stanford University are hoping to trial the brain stimulating chip on six humans for the first time this year after successful trials in mice.
The chips work by delivering a minor jolt to the part of the brain that sends signals when someone is about to gorge on food, and scientists hope could it could help people snap out of harmful eating habits.
Last year, researchers proved that obese mice who had the implants ate 60pc less fatty foods. They hope the success can now be replicated in humans.

Because their wee brains were being grilled?! Sure, let's try that on humans!
Brain Chip “Stop filling your pie hole fatty, go vote for commies”
Next up, voting chips.
Would the chips be cheddar or salt & vinegar ?
Obese person: well that sounds like a fine place to store them for lean times ahead!
Corn, or potato !?
.
Beat me to it!
Wouldn’t shock collars be more financially feasible?
The chips work by delivering a minor jolt to the part of the brain that sends signals when someone is about to gorge on food.
What’s that mean, more than three shovelfuls of a particular food item?
Perhaps the chip will determine when you’ve decided to take that fourth mouthful but haven’t done so yet?
This is “Red Flag” sensor technology.
Hmm. Chips I can’t eat.

This might also work and is cheaper.
Make sure Stacy Abrams gets hers!
Lol!
What kind of dip comes with those chips??
Perhaps the Ludovico Treatment might be in order?
UMMMM CHOCOLATE!
What a fantastic idea! Implant chips and program them to shock the person who is about to do something on the government’s disapproved list! Next idea will be to develop chips that cause pleasure when you do something on the government’s approved list.
I guess we would retire the phrase, “fat and happy.”
Why not just a shock collar?
Beat me by 20 min.
