For years, people have lamented over not being able to experience instant learning like Neo does in "The Matrix." Plug in and learn kung fu in minutes? Yes please. But now that might be possible thanks to HRL Laboratories. Tech Crunch reports that " when you use transcranial direct current stimulation to send the brain activity of commercial and military pilots into the heads of novice pilots, subjects can essentially learn to fly in a realistic flight simulator." Voila, instant learning.
So far the creators foresee instant learning being used in the realms of language, driving and even SAT prep, but perhaps in the near future it can be used for everything. Then maybe schools will be obsolete.
Instant Learning Inventions
HRL Laboratories Has Discovered a Way to Mimic Matrix-Like Learning
Trend Themes
1. Instant Learning - Companies can develop online platforms or apps that utilize transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) technology to offer instant learning services in various fields.
2. Tdcs Technology - More research can be done to develop tDCS technology, enabling instant learning in more complex and diverse areas of study such as medicine or engineering.
3. Revolution in Education - As instant learning becomes more widespread, the education industry can shift to more resource allocation towards mentorship and critical thinking rather than memorization-oriented lectures.
Industry Implications
1. Education - Education companies can incorporate tDCS technology into their existing curriculum to offer more immersive and interactive learning experiences for students.
2. Language Learning - Language learning apps or platforms can integrate tDCS technology to offer instant learning services to users, enabling them to learn languages significantly faster than traditional language learning programs.
3. Virtual Reality - Virtual reality companies can partner with HRL Laboratories to utilize their technology in developing innovative VR-based training modules which can be adopted by various industries such as aviation, healthcare, and architecture.
