Researchers Teach Subliminally; Matrix Learning One Step Closer
An anonymous reader writes "For the first time ever, scientists from Boston University and ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto, Japan have managed to use functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or fMRI to decode the process of learning. As the research stands to date, it isn't capable of much. Rather than working with skills like juggling, the researchers relied on images so they could tie into the vision part of the brain, the part that they have managed to partially decode. Nevertheless, they demonstrated that information could be taught using neurofeedback techniques. And it was effective even when people didn't know they were learning."
I know kung fu.
I want to learn applied quantum physics. Because it's impossible to learn it the regular way...
I blame the parents. Yes, we could push the responsibility off on educators, but cultural enlightenment should ideally start much sooner. My eight children all saw the Matrix before their fourth birthdays. I also reinforce with annual refreshers.

It's too bad they never made a sequel.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, but teach a man to phish...
Not going to work. You changed the outcome by learning it.
If you're not getting off it, could you at least do something useful with it?
The garden hose is out back, and the mower in the garage. thanks.

I'll have to disagree. Twice.
So you're saying it's a good thing they never made two sequels?
It's an exclusive or kind of disagreement: !too bad XOR !they never made a sequel.
what is a summary?

It's like a wintery, only warmer.
Great minds think alike; fools seldom differ.
