DARPA Is Planning to Hack the Human Brain to Let Us “Upload” Skills

DARPA Is Planning to Hack the Human Brain to Let Us “Upload” Skills

"In March 2016, DARPA — the U.S. military’s “mad science” branch — announced their Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) program. The TNT program aims to explore various safe neurostimulation methods for activating synaptic plasticity, which is the brain’s ability to alter the connecting points between neurons — a requirement for learning. DARPA hopes that building up that ability by subjecting the nervous system to a kind of workout regimen will enable the brain to learn more quickly."
