Summary
Researchers invented the new technology named DecNef. It can remove phobias and PTSD from the brains using brain scanning technology and artificial intelligence. For the time being, drugs or aversion therapy are used for treatment, but they sometimes cause side effects or flashback. In that point, DecNef functions in patient’s subconscious that they don’t have any negative effects. An Japanese researcher hopes to put DecNef to practical use in the near years.
Opinion
The other day I saw the TV program about PTSD patient of 3.11, and I realized seriousness of such trauma once again. Thus I believe this kind of technology is useful especially for Japan. However, we should mind a risk of mind control. DecNef can remove our fears fundamentally and this mechanism is effective in therapy. But if it is abused by terrorists or government, there are possibility that cruel criminals won’t be arrested or a despotic state will establish. It is really dangerous. Therefore, I wish practical application of DecNef will be carefully proceeded.
