Nowhere is this more true than with neuroscience. Already, thanks to fMRI we can see living brains think, we can relieve Parkinson’s tremors with the flip of a switch through brain implants and we can beam thoughts instantly across the planet from one person to another via sensitive scalp probes and superconducting brain stimulators.
