Russian man almost died after drilling his skull to ‘Management of dreams’: Report | World news
In a bizarre incident, a man in Novosibirsk, Russia narrowly escaped death after he performed brain surgery on himself using a manual pen with the aim of controlling his dreams.
Russian Michael Raduga, 40, while sharing his ordeal on Twitter, said he used a home drill on his skull to insert a chip that would allow him to control his dreams.
Raduga further said that he performed the operation on June 17 after studying hours of YouTube videos on neurosurgery, and testing on five sheep, Newsweek reported. However, due to his lack of surgical experience, he reportedly lost nearly a liter of blood during the four-hour operation and nearly died.
“On May 17, 2023, I performed by myself trepanation, electrode implantation, and electrical stimulation of the motor cortex of my brain. I need it to test brain stimulation during a lucid dream,” he tweeted alongside graphic images.
In the photos shared by Raduga, you can see him pulling the skin back on his head using paper clips, and punching into the back of his skull. He then proceeded to insert a platinum and silicon into his brain, which he said enabled him to use light to induce certain actions in dreams. He, however, was rushed to the hospital to have the chip removed.
In another tweet, he can be seen with multiple bandages on his face as well as an X-ray that appears to reveal an electrode inside his head.
“Don’t do it again! It is much harder and more dangerous than you can imagine. The four-hour video of the operation clearly shows this,” Raduga told his followers.
