How does the physical matter in our brains translate into thoughts, sensations, and emotions? It’s hard to explore that question without neurosurgery. But in a recent paper, MIT philosopher Matthias Michel, Lincoln Lab researcher Daniel Freeman, and colleagues outline a strategy for doing so with an emerging tool called transcranial focused ultrasound. This noninvasive technology…

CLAIM Geplaatst door will Apr 22, 2026
Hoewel veelbelovend, moet transcraniaal gericht ultrageluid voorzichtig worden benaderd, aangezien de ethische implicaties van het manipuleren van bewustzijn grotendeels onverkend blijven.
AI-vertaald · Origineel tonen

While promising, transcranial focused ultrasound should be approached cautiously, as ethical implications of manipulating consciousness remain largely unexplored.
