In The Matrix movie trilogy, humans were plugged into a powerful computer that created sensory experiences that existed only in their minds. It appears that the Sony Corporation is quietly working on a project intended to make the Matrix a reality. Five years ago, the Japanese entertainment company filed a patent for a method of firing ultrasound pulses at a person’s brain. |
