Scientists Remotely Hack Brain, Control Limbs and Body Movements Using Nanoparticles and Custom DNA Strands

Through a process called magneto-thermal stimulation, the researchers first implant specially built DNA strands and nanoparticles which attach to specific neurons, and then the brain can be remotely controlled via an alternating magnetic field. The stimulation works when magnetic inputs are applied, the particles heat up, and that causes the neurons to fire.
