Shaking the World

Researchers at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone have come up with a technique that enables them to control humans. I was able to get an idea as to how they do it. The researchers use a remote that signals the receiver (a box attached to the persons back), which then responds and produces an electrical current, which is delivered to the back of our ears. The vestibular system, which controls our sense of movement and balance, is thrown off balance by electrical currents delivered just behind our ears.Just have a look at this clip to see a woman being controlled by the device. After having a look a the clip you could easily guess why they have named the project ‘shaking the world’.


Yes it sounds scary, but the good news is that this technology is a long way from controlling me.
