ScienceDaily (Sep. 23, 2012) — In the quest to understand how the brain turns sensory input into behavior, Harvard scientists have crossed a major threshold. Using precisely-targeted lasers, researchers have been able to take over an animal's brain, instruct it to turn in any direction they choose, and even to implant false sensory information, fooling the animal into thinking food was nearby.

"Look, Ma! No orbital lasers!"

Anyway, I suspect they're still quite a ways from being able to take over "your" brain. This was just a worm with only 302 neurons.

And the experimental apparutus is not exactly "field ready" by any means.

Still, though, I expect TPTB have definitely made note of this ...

It won't take long.
