Feeding knowledge directly into your brain, just like in sci-fi classic The Matrix, by a simulator which can feed information directly into a person’s brain and teach them new skills in a shorter amount of time, comparing it to “life imitating art”. I think inventing a devive that feed skills directly into a person’s brain is little far from believing . But what if build a device that stimulates some parts of a person's brain that related to the new skill that person is learning .so ,that person by using such a device could learn that new skill in very shorter time.
For that purpose, new skills will be 1st feeded into the device and than those skills will be transferred to some body's brain. I think this will always limited to the movies coz it will be highly expensive, if made by some one.
by stimulating certain peripheral nerves—those that relay signals between the brain, and the spinal cord—we can enhance a person’s ability to learn, by triggering the release of neurochemicals that reorganize connections in the brain.what i mean, Can build a device that enhance learning in person by targeting those nerves with electrical stimulation ?
People are working on to improve learning by brain stimulation. you can find several papers on brain stimulation.
As far as direct feeding is concerned, it might be possible but will take some time for science to reach there.
brain stores energy in the form of electrical signal and there are various receptors all over the body which converts different signals into electrical signal and transmits them towards the brain. For example our tongue converts chemical signal into electrical signal transmit them via nerve towards the brain, where it stores in the form of electrical signals. Similarly our skin sense the touch information. If we converts the sound information in some vibrating pattern with the help of electronic device...and fit this on body so that particular pattern of vibration can be sensed than without ear we will be understand and process the sound information and stores it into the brain. with the help of advanced transducers and sensors we can make a device to convert any kind of signal available in the world into different vibrating and touch pattern, which will further sensed by the body by feeling the touch and vibration. This way we can stores any kind of information directly into the brain.
