Are you ever in a bad mood for seemingly no reason at all? Wouldn’t it be great to control your emotions and turn a bad mood around with the flip of a switch? According to a recent Tech Times article, that concept isn’t just science fiction; Elon Musk’s Neuralink is already working on it.

Neuralink’s brain-implanted chip can control a host’s emotions and mode by emitting waves that are outside of natural frequency and amplitude. The original function of the chip was to help people with severed spinal cords restore mobility, but can now alleviate stress and anxiety by balancing hormone levels in the brain. The secret project was teased by Musk, and he mentioned more light will be shed on the topic at an event scheduled for August 28th.
