'Downloading' new skills into our brains like characters set to become a reality

[YayFun]

Learning a martial art, how to fly a plane or how to speak a new language without even being awake is set to become a reality, say researchers.

Scientists at Boston University and ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto, Japan, believe that in the future learning a new skill might involve nothing more than sitting in front of a computer screen and waiting for it to ‘upload’.

They have been studying how a functional magnetic resonance machine (FMRI) can ‘induce’ knowledge in someone through their visual cortex by sending signals that change their brain activity pattern.

Lol, Japan also has cars in development that supposedly hover due to magnets reacting with metals in the Earth's crust, wouldn't have too much of a high expectation of this becoming reality.
