Neurohacking.

Neurohacking is an emerging concept in neurology, psychology, and technology built on the idea that cognitive and central nervous system processes can be altered, influenced, optimized, and even controlled by external means. While forms of neurohacking have already been used to treat persistent medical and mental health issues such as chronic pain and severe anxiety, recent technological innovations point to a future in which more advanced applications may be achievable. Theorized possibilities include applications in learning, memory, cognitive performance, communication, and crime detection and prevention. Beyond computer- and technology-based forms of neurohacking, researchers are also investigating possible drug treatments that could be used to improve brain function in targeted ways.
