Hacking the human brain: Fact or folklore? - Clickatell

Hacking is what happens when nefarious outside sources try to break into computer systems to get to sensitive data or to plant malware. It costs governments and corporates billions of dollars each year in damages and reputation management. But scientists have now developed technology that could see people hacking the human brain. Humans have been trying to hack the human body and mind with the likes of drugs, smokes, alcohol, and coffee, since the dawn of time. The only difference now is that we have empirical evidence to know which techniques work and which don't.
