This is your brain on traffic lights
Neuroscientists have found a way to control the flow of thoughts in the brain simply by flashing different-colored lights at their subjects. The protocol has only been tested in mice, and requires the animals to have specific light-sensitive proteins embedded in their brains. The resultant neural light switch can be used to flip the symptoms of mental disorders on and off, and could give rise to treatments for humans.
