Many veterans are afflicted by serious emotional problems. The U.S. military has invested 70 million U.S. dollars in efforts to develop brain implants to regulate the mood of patients with mental illness. Researcher Jose Carmena has been training macaques for years to allow them to move their computer cursors and robots on their own terms. He had implanted electrodes in their brains to detect mental activity. The U.S. military has invested in a far-reaching $ 70 million program. Now part of the plan, Carmen has a new goal: to use brain implants to read and control mental patient emotions.
