Just saw this on SimHQ this morning. A bit of a clickbait title, I'll admit.

But very interesting nonetheless.

 

Scientists discover how to "upload knowledge to your brain" (The Telegraph)

 

 

They studied the electric signals in the brain of a trained pilot and then fed the data into novice subjects as they learned to pilot an aeroplane in a realistic flight simulator.

 

The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, found that subjects who received brain stimulation via electrode-embedded head caps improved their piloting abilities and learnt the task 33 per cent better than a placebo group.

They did not have many participants in the study and the newspaper article only regards one particular result. Thus, I do not have enough knowledge in this area to really understand their methods, but the statistics do not seem completly off...
