Researchers Control Monkeys’ Decisions With Bursts of Ultrasonic Waves
Gizmodo | 05/20/2020 | George DvorskySpecifically, the ultrasound treatments were shown to influence their decision to look either left or right at a target presented on a screen, despite prior training to prefer one target over the other.
The new study, co-authored by neuroscientist Jan Kubanek from the University of Utah,
(Wait: her co-author doesn’t rate even a nod?)
highlights the potential use of this non-invasive technique for treating certain disorders in humans, like addictions, without the need for surgery or medication. The procedure is also completely painless.
I, for one, am glad they don’t have anything more important to work on.

This means that the Democrats will never lose an election again.
Damn you, science!
I’m hoping this means SpaceMonkey will be compelled to return to his keyboard.
I also hope this means that should Planet Of The Apes come to reality, we have the technology to shut it down immediately.
Screaming kids in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart are merely following the science.
Blue state residents should look for micro-speakers in the voting booth before casting a ballot.
Monkeys aren’t nearly as opinionated as I’d hoped.

…prom dates for nerdiest, jobs filled that even illegals won’t do, NYC mayors can be randomly selected from the Bronx Zoo.
… the flying ones will no longer listen to Pelosi, but will certainly cheer again when someone pitches a bucket of water on her.
