An experimenter is going to control dreams with the help of an impant electrode. He performed the operation at home, using a drill and a stapler.
Russian Mikhail Raduga wanted to control his dreams, for which he implanted an implant in his brain. All that would be nothing, but this particular experimenter did it all by himself, using an ordinary drill. The man himself confirmed the fact, described in the British edition of the Daily Mail, on his Twitter.
The 40-year-old Russian man moved from Russia to Kazakhstan. It was there that he decided to carry out the operation, planned long ago. Rainbow used a drill and other improvised tools, drilled through the skull and implanted an electrode in the brain. He performed all the manipulations at home.
"For many people, this [the ability to control dreams] will be a kind of entertainment. Imagine, for example, a paralyzed person who can't experience anything in this life. And we find a way to get into a lucid dream where he can do everything," the researcher shared.
In late June, he said on social media that direct electrical stimulation of the brain's motor cortex during REM sleep, lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis was performed. He said the results of the study offer incredible promise for dream management technologies.
The man shared the difficulties he faced during the surgery. For example, he lost about a liter of blood while trying to penetrate the skull with a drill and fixing the skin with staples using a stapler.
"I was ready to die, but I'm glad I survived," Rainbow noted.
He prepared for the operation using clips on one of the video sites, and practiced his skills on sheep. The man did not tell his family about his plans.
Mikhail Raduga is the founder of Phase Research Center. Among other things, he gives advice on getting out of sleep paralysis, living out-of-body experience and astral projection.
The experimenter has no medical education.
Scientists have found out how the geography of residence and the level of culture affect a person's sleep patterns.
