What if you could control someone's mind and make them more aggressive or less anxious or extremely hungry? Well, IT'S POSSIBLE! Optogenetics let scientists literally control the brain using light. Using whaa?? Yep, the light actually controls the signaling of individual neurons through channelrhodopsin. Learn more about how neuroscientists are controlling minds with Alie Astrocyte!

So awesome. Loved the sound effects!
Actually it is known that as for example, a solar storm can produce frequency waves that can affect surface neurons right beneath the skull. Also felt as tinny thin sounds-like inside the ears.
By producing a specific frequency wave or as perhaps by producing a specific noise frequency , specific areas in the brain could be stimulated producing diverse effects. Since there are thousands of com antenas everywhere not just cel phones but for all purposses, all emmiting frequency waves at the time, a frequency controlled net could be set up affecting human brain behaviour. 0.0
Even the environment and weather could eventually be, or has been, affected by this type of modulated environmental contamination which could be polluting radiation.
Awesome video, thanks!!!
This much closer to sharks with lasers
This sounds like the next step in the evolution of cyberpunk dystopia...
Quick! Write a screenplay!
Hell yeah what a great video
Thanks a lot! Optogenetics are so frickin cool!
@@neurotransmissions Still think it's "cool"?
Do they target specific neurons or groups of neurons?
We have the capability to activate individual neurons, but since neurons don't typically act alone, scientists usually target groups or particular types of neurons. For example, the rats can be bred in such a way that channelrhodopsin is only expressed in motor neurons. That way, when the light turns on, only those neurons are activated. You can also have channelrhodopsin in many neuron types and just focus the light on particular brain regions. There's a lot of possibilities! It just depends on what you want to study!
Bad news
Yep
Can you apply this to humans???
I suffer from man made dreams for the last 20 years between Canada and france...
90% of dreams are man made by electricity. Here are the values:
The frequency in Hertz of the dreams are around 300Mhz for the high and around 7 hz for the low value.
The electric field values on my sleeping bed of each dream range from 40-70 v/m a set of 4 or 5 values before the peak which can be usually around 120 V/m and can go up to 700 V/m if they want to wake you up or shake your heart.
Especially if you have excess toxic conductive metals like silver or copper.
This make a glutamate excitoxicity, which causes Calcium influx into the cell, and damages the cell membranes,
You remedy with Vitamin C, D, Magnesium, L-theanine( green tea ) and Turmeric and vitamin B-complex rich foods but they increase the frequency which makes you tired.
That's interesting FACTS ABOUT ur dreams
Can you tell me if ontogenetics is used somewhere to treat mental illness
Hey there! As of right now, human use of optogenetics is extremely rare. So right now, there are no uses of optogenetics for treatment of mental illnesses. There was a story about a year ago about a surgeon who wanted to use optogenetics to cure a man's blindness, but that was very experimental and I haven't heard anything about it. Anyway, there's a long way to go before we get to human use of this technology!
As far as I know it is not yet at the stage of treatment implementation in humans. Since it requires gene-therapy there are quite some legal and ethical whatnots to figure out before human testing can even begin. (I am not an expert in the field though, so I have no clue as to how close they actually are to achieving this.)
They’re using it to create mental illness. Do you REALLY think they’re “trying to help” humanity? That’s laughable
@@davidaflinsenberg6230lmaooooo yeah, that’s hospitals and whatnot. There are people already using this technology to..
Beautifully explained thank you. You are a beautiful human being.
These genius scientist don’t even know that we have an abundance of primary water beneath the earth.
Question can you control your whole brain?
Hey I have that same t-shirt.
You have excellent taste!
Ali is Cool!
I want to get to know this mad scientist called Patrick. Him being half naked in his car says it all.. XD
Awh I want that shirt ;_;
Love that im studying at sdsu but am using this video to study lol
This should be a warning to stay off the internet, any movies, tv, ect. Yes I realize I am on the internet saying this.
I don't believe it. Even if it were possible, it would take a lot of buttons and a very powerful computer to be able to control a human being because of all the different neurons involved in a single motion. That's if the body was being controlled like a machine. It would probably cause more damage and uncontrollable effects than anything that is able to be predictably manipulated. What is more likely is copying the the frequencies and wave patterns a brain makes when it is performing certain functions, and by relaying that same frequency into the brain, it may make it possible to give the individual the urge to do whatever it is they're usually doing when they wave pattern is normally shown. It may be possible to activate specific neurons using light, but there are way too many neurons in the brain to be able to control a person's actions by using this method.
Meet quantum computers and deep state actors using time aware AI.
You may want to look into optogenetics research, because it is indeed possible.
They’ve been working on this for decades, it has become a lot more advanced since this video - they no longer need to surgically implant anything, instead you breath in/ingest &/or are inoculated with nanoparticles & mRNA.
They’ve got many ways to discreetly get it on in ya’
Now look into all our LED lights and you’ll understand why thats a big push.
@@PetalsPea white people always try to invade and enslave every couple generations. got to watch out for this.
@@PetalsPea we have ton be careful with that. every few generations, the whites try to invade and enslave, especially after they invent a new weapon.
I like that Patrick fellow... Is he single?
Indeed he is! I will pass him your regards. Haha.
she finished her rubik's cube!
Or mind control
Would aluminium foil protect the brain from attacks?
Mad scientists already got ahold of it. Covid19 baby
Rick Sanchez already stole it...
Not mad scientist but many crazy-money scientist to use this tect
Optogenetics human trials are underway now.
Good. There are some nasty memories I'd like to get rid of.
Has this been tried in humans ?
Yes. The covid vaccine
😂
Beautiful science, beautiful girl, beautiful astrocyte.
whats wrong with mad scientist?
Good point. Can't be too quick to judge. 😝
Artificial light..😞 Jesus is the only true light💜
“I guess we better be careful and keep this technology away from the mad scientists.” Oops too late…
