Very interesting. It’s always amazing how our entire perception of reality is just a series of complex biochemical and electrical reactions in a piece of meat.

I am not sure I want to know how they plan to electrically stimulate the region. It probably includes the use of a long needle/probe.

Or possibly by trans-cranial stimulation (electro-magnetic freqs)
