Control Someone Else's Arm With Your Brain

By -

Have you ever had the desire to lose your free will? Or, alternatively, have you ever had the desire to take someone's free will?

Yes?  You are in for a real treat!



We have all seen the magic. And this, like the others, is all science.

We can control others arms with our brain. Yes, it's true. We were going to connect two wires on your elbows. And two wires on the other person's elbow. And BOOM. If you move your arm now, the other person will not be able to move his arm according to his own will. Isn't it the coolest brain hack ever?
See this video (TED Talk by Greg) to learn more.


I know! I have been there. I was thrilled after watching this.

You can build this device yourself.

Yup, that's true too. All it takes is a simple DIY kit. After All, Greg Gage's aim is to make brain science accessible to all. You can find everything you need to make this device on Backyard Brains, founded by Greg himself. Below is the link to the detailed instruction on how to make this device.

How does this device work?

The way in which our brain communicates with rest of our body is through electronic impulse. Nerves in your body carry messages from the brain in form of electric signal. What goes hand in hand with electric signals? Yes, Potential Difference(Voltage).
What if we are able to record these Potential Difference(Voltage) generated during the flow of electronic signals through our nerves? What if we reapply this recorded potential difference on the same nerves of another person? And there you go.

Stay tuned for more cool articles.

Anatomy of a game

So you created your  very first game, but it didn't work as well as you wanted it to be. Or you are all set to create a good game, but do not know where to start from. Well, this post might solve your problem.               Creating a good game might be difficult. You never know which element is liked by the players, and which element worsens the game experience for your players. But there are some basic things that a player wishes to see in a game; so here, I am going to walk through those elements, and that too in a practical game. Take a look at these images- Dragon Slayer Interstellar These games are a part of my efforts as a part of an assignment on Coursera; and they have received full 100% grades in the process.                    After having a close look at the games, let us discuss about the main elements that are a part of it. Interstellar:  Balance: One of the most important things in a game is balance. Balance basically means maintaining a fa

The ultimate ES5 JavaScript quiz

So, you have just finished your supreme-js-learning-pack-for-idiots and coded some nice app and now are on the top of the world. You hail your code as supreme and think that now you have mastered everything. Then you are the right candidate for my quiz, which will test your abilities of dry running the program and knowing the idomatic ES5 (JavaScript) programming paradigms, along with some its usual quirks! :-) (Note: ES6 is not being tested here) JavaScript - easy to learn, hard to master! The quiz is subjective type. You are given a program snippet and are supposed to figure out the output. The program may  have an (intentionally inserted) error, so beware while deciding your answer. Assume that all snippets execute in a browser environment (in the global scope) with "use strict;" mode enabled. Each output has been tested on Chrome mainstream build and made browser independent. If you still feel your browser's console output is different, let me know in the

Overclock your brain power - Brain Hacks

We all have watched those silly movies. And, we all have heard about those silly shock therapy given to mental people. Well, I am almost at the edge of getting one of those. Do you know how shock therapy work? It makes current flow through your brain by connecting the ends(positive and negative terminals) of a DC battery to appropriate position in the brain. I am a good person and I want to enhance your language and mathematical ability, attention span, problem-solving, memory, and coordination. And for this purpose I am going to give a shock therapy with hundred times less current than a regular one. This is called tDCS - Transcranial direct current stimulation. What happens when you attach several electrodes to your forehead, connect them via wires to a 'nine-volt battery' and 'resistor', ramp up the current and send an electrical charge directly into your brain? “IT’S like coffee times ten,” raves one enthusiast. “I use it a couple of times a week and problem
