ok u guys, i got two news books off amazon & have been super stoked to share them cause they’re kind of amazing~~the 1st one i bought for a penny (plus shipping) & its basically a very sarcastic “handbook” on cyberpunk culture, poking fun at how “cool” cyberpunks think they are but because the authors understand and respect the culture it comes off in a funny way. its got cyberpunk crossword puzzles in it! (published 1995) #2 is written by the same 2 authors and is more of a compilation of their magazine Mondo 2000 with chapters centered around certain topics (aphrodisiacs, music, cybersex, appropriation) and extra commentaries by all kinds of people involved with said topics (doctors, musicians, artists). #2 was published in 1992, and its really cool reading about all these speculations on the future from perspectives that are now 21 years old. definitely recommend picking these up if you have a few bux to spend on books.

Humans play computer game using only direct brain stimulation

The Matrix plot may be dystopian fantasy, but University of Washington researchers have taken a first step in showing how humans can interact with virtual realities via direct brain stimulation.

In a paper published online Nov. 16 in Frontiers in Robotics and AI, they describe the first demonstration of humans playing a simple, two-dimensional computer game using only input from direct brain stimulation — without relying on any usual sensory cues from sight, hearing or touch.

The subjects had to navigate 21 different mazes, with two choices to move forward or down based on whether they sensed a visual stimulation artifact called a phosphene, which are perceived as blobs or bars of light. To signal which direction to move, the researchers generated a phosphene through transcranial magnetic stimulation, a well-known technique that uses a magnetic coil placed near the skull to directly and noninvasively stimulate a specific area of the brain.
