mind manipulation

[lexydesign]

I am looking for information about mind manipulation

directly on how to stimulate the brain into thinking it is doing something the body is not. for example eating an apple

[LucidDreamer]

It's called imagination.

^i could imagine i was eating an apple... but that would not mean i believed with all my heart that i was eating that apple.

There are many concepts to this idea, all that may be achieved in the future. First you could imagine that scientists start changing the neural circuits of other people by direct manipulation of their brain. In this case the "manipulated" person (m-man) would have a new and different mind. Through this new mind m-man may see new things, insights, emotions etc. Of course you could start designing very complexy minds, very new, odd and complex information paths, organizations etc. Where is the limit ? I think a new dawn will arrive for humanity, maybe a technological singularity. Imagine then minds and computers connected, an eventual "sea of minds" , simulations of fake worlds to minds, installation of complete life histories in minds etc. A person could be any other conceivable person by just installing the neural configurations. Of course here, the sky is the limit. Science and reality becomes arbitrary. Imagine a brain in a house where each item of the house communicates with its neural circuits so manipulating the items, in the house the mind can explore itself, or it would be walking inside its own neural network.
