Imagine someone remotely controlling your brain, forcing your body’s central processing organ to send messages to your muscles that you didn’t authorize. It’s an incredibly scary thought, but scientists have managed to accomplish this science fiction nightmare for real, albeit on a much small scale, and they were even able to prompt their test subject to run, freeze in place, or even completely lose control over their limbs. Thankfully, the research will be used for good rather than evil… for now.
The effort, led by physics professor Arnd Pralle, PhD, of the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences, focused on a technique called “magneto-thermal stimulation.” It’s not exactly a simple process — it requires the implantation of specially built DNA strands and nanoparticles which attach to specific neurons — but once the minimally invasive procedure is over, the brain can be remotely controlled via an alternating magnetic field. When those magnetic inputs are applied, the particles heat up, causing the neurons to fire.

“There’s a platypus controlling me!”
Not worried about that. More worried about the way the media, subservient to the left, completely seizes control over the minds of half of the American public and makes them believe stupid things.
Katara from The Last Airbender could do it but only during a full moon.
That seems like it would have limited utility.
George Soros remotely hacked the brains of the uniparty a long time ago.
In the Harry Potter wizarding world, this is one of the three unforgivable curses.
It would be cool though if this could be adapted to help people with paralysis.
There is no good that can come from this.
AWESOME!
I want this for my army of mutant (squirrel/beaver) tree trimmers!
