brain stimulation can influence parts of the brain that drive morals and cognition. we can become fairer, smarter, more self-controlled, more positive, more caring, and even more transcendent if we tweak our so-called “virtues control panel”
neuromodulation can be done externally, by sending electrical currents or magnetic waves directly to parts of the brain from the outside (transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation), or, more invasively, by implanting brain-computer interfaces - chips in the brain that control how you think and feel
