‘Watt’ a Shocker! New DARPA Project Seeks to Electrically Rewire Human Brains

‘The brain is often compared to a computer, a thrumming mass of circuitry, software and wires. If that’s the case, it’s surely possible to rewire it – to ensure mankind’s onboard central processing unit is the best it can be.
That’s the theory behind the latest project from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the US military’s shadowy research branch. It aims to enhance human cognitive abilities by activating “synaptic plasticity” — under the banner of Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT).
The idea was inspired by recent research, suggesting the stimulation of peripheral nerves, which relay signals between the brain, the spinal cord and the rest of the body, enhance an individual’s ability to learn, via triggering the release of neurochemicals that reorganize connections in the brain.’
