Laser Beams That Trigger Amnesia - MIB Tool Becomes Military Reality
MIB Tool Becomes Military Reality

Straight out of “Men in Black”, a crazy new laser weapon will erase memories as they happen. American and Chinese researchers have teamed up to selectively erasing memories in mice.

The original amnesia laser rendered mice unable to form memories, Amnesia laser 2.0 attacks specific memories by comandeering individual proteins in the brain.

Amnesia laser technology, of course, has sparked the interest of the US military. The Pentagon has been known to drop beaucoup bucks to manipulate the memories of soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder. But doesn’t it seem like a more sinister plot to erase the memories of our enemies so they’ll never know what hit ‘em?

Amnesia beams work by emitting a blast of electrons. Strobe lights have been used to disorient enemies in the past but this cool tool is way more awesome.

Unique but like Sanda Winn says "troubling" Great for severe Mental Illness like Bipolar? Or for interrogation But also such abuse & use. Nice to erase ones memory of U being with them IF warranted, otherwise NO use save: Interrogation Severe Mental Illness. Inmate Control Jails & Prisons. Imagine if Hitler had this in WW2?
