Scientists invented scanner to erase negative memories

Neuroscientists have announced that it is possible to «erase» negative memories from human memory. The discovery was made by employees of ATR Computational Neuroscience Labs.

It is a unique DecNef scanner, which can control and suppress the human brain's reactions.

The latest technology is based on the use of electromagnetic pulses, which are similar to those used in conventional magnetic resonance imaging.

The essence of the device is the following: special sensors analyze the changes in the human brain, and after that, they outline certain areas in the process, when a person remembers something.

As noted, it is impossible to erase memories, but DecNef teaches the patient to keep control as well as suppress the brain's natural reactions.

The artificial intelligence of this scanner can "edit" a person's memory and erase unnecessary data or bad memories.

The device has had its detractors, who claim that people are not prepared to be controlled by the machine.
