What are your thoughts about this!? Blessings B

Personally, I'm very skeptical of what the article claims. UK Mainstream media seems to derive pleasure from misleading the general public with sensationalist headlines - like claiming that scientists 'know' how to 'upload knowledge to your brain'. There is no convincing evidence to support what the headline claims. Cranial stimulation methods ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_magnetic_stimulation ) do have a noticeable affect on human beings, but in very limited and specific ways. This isn't the same as being able to directly 'upload' things into brains to alter conscious experiences.
The whole concept of 'uploading' information to a human brain hinges on the shaky foundations of materialist philosophy. Despite what some neuroscientists claim, they still haven't been able to overcome the 'hard problem of consciousness': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness
Although I don't agree with what the article claims, I believe that all freedom loving individuals should do everything possible to challenge the trans-humanist agenda, especially government funded projects to manipulate 'brains' with a view to making it easier to control human behaviour.
It is worth pointing out that a number of manipulative 'brain-washing' programs do exist, and if successful they will surely be used against in harmful ways. So even though I think materialist philosophy is flawed, we still need to be careful. DAARPA and the BRAIN Initiative are a good example of the types of projects in development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRAIN_Initiative
I also suspect that state-funded brain manipulation projects aren't advancing quite as smoothly as some people claim, which is probably why the elites are trying to make humans more dependent on centralized technologies and dumb-phones, and encouraging us to be behave more 'machine' like (no one 'falls in love' anymore because even dating is done algorithimically). So, the more we behave like robots, and the more we delegate our mental faculties to algorithms and automated machine-based processes, the easier we are to control through good old fashioned Edward Bernay's style propaganda.
I'll end this post by sharing something that challenges the premises of scientism, trans-humanism and materialist philosophy. Bernardo Kastrup gave a very good talk at the 2015 Alzheimer symposium.I think you'll find it interesting:
I do believe that mainstream media the globe over does this to some degree. I beg to differ that there is an inherent desire to mislead the public I guess some would argue against and I do too to some extent!! I would like to share this video.

I just shared one to get the topic going! And it's great others are contributing! Blessings B
The video that I have posted is about targeted weaponary and mind control. In my opinion the article that Bobbi shared by The Telegraph does seem quite flimsy, in some parts of the world there might be a belief that meditation can increase learning abilities.
Thanks for sharing that Indi. It's remarkable just how open and public DARPA are about their projects. Some of the projects that they claim to be working on are utterly insane:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:DARPA_projects
If they're fine with the general public knowing about these types of projects, then just imagine how bizarre the more secretive projects must be.
I do not actually think that DARPA are open about what they are doing however in this instance this man is s very reliable source.
I agree I shudder to think what other projects they have going on!!
I shall check out the link that you provided. Thank you for also sharing the link.

Jean,See this is what I'm talking about having people think about what is presented to them and using discernment and also doing their own research! Very well indeed! Thank you for sharing links with us and as well thought-out statements Blessings B,
