"In a society that is all about achievements, the ReCoBrain product lets us imagine a world of complete self-control and peak performances. This handy tool that sounds great in the advertisement serves as a disguise for a horrible vision where man becomes machine and leaves the borders of his own brain behind."

Technical Description
The ReCoBrain technology is based on the injection of a synthetic neuronal network that attaches to the brain’s motor cortex and auditory cortex, and induces the formation of new synapses. Neuronal activity patterns in these brain areas are recorded by the ReCoBrain network and can be linked. Simply by listening to a specific, personalized melody while asleep, ReCoBrain is activated and repeats the corresponding activity patterns of the brain, causing the body to react to these stimuli by executing the programmed task.
