One Step Closer To A Freeze Ray
In a discovery that may help in developing a better treatment for people with Parkinson's, scientists have found that stimulating a particular frequency of brain wave can put a person into slow motion.
For those who are unaware, Parkinson's is an affliction that causes a person to gradually stiffen. The jumpiness seen in many people with Parkinson's is actually from the medication that keeps them from losing too much movement too quickly. Thus the more they learn from these experiments, the closer they may get to finding a solution.
The side-effect of this research, of course, is that they may also end up figuring out how to cause someone to temporarily freeze in place. Which I'm only interested in for entirely educational purposes, of course...
