ABSTRACT
At the time of this publication, ‘mind engineering’ is not a well-defined or widely accepted concept within the scientific community, and its meaning can vary widely depending on the context. It can refer to the field of neuroengineering, which combines principles from neuroscience, engineering, and computer science to develop technologies for understanding and manipulating the brain, often with a focus on enhancing cognitive functions or creating brain–computer interfaces. Some self-help and personal development circles use the term to describe techniques and strategies for optimizing one’s cognitive and emotional processes. However, ‘mind engineering’ can also pertain to efforts to control or manipulate the human mind, including ideas related to brainwashing, mind control, or the use of advanced technologies to influence or alter people’s thoughts and behaviors. In this handbook, our primary focus is on the aspect of mind engineering related to mind control and manipulation.
