Hi, @DarthKalamity and other comment authors. The news release we linked to in the description of the video will tell you more about the research.

Are u suggesting ion channels and cell membrane plays a big part to animal behaviour? Even if it is true, to prove or explain it, there are still a lot of work ahead. So many factors can be involved.

It's a pity to study so much, improving (maybe) a so wonderful technology, and make such an orrible video.

And what is the point of this research. I hope they don't plan on injecting us this stuff.????

thumbs up if you got this from engadget or wired

[DarthKalamity]

Impressive results. Fascinating the way you target only the cell membrane. How is it done? Is it the frequency that resonates specifically with the lipids in the membrane, sort of like forced oscillation?

This is amazing!!
