While fluorescence imaging (in which external light is used to excite a specimen that then emits light in response) is essential in cell biology, it has a number of significant drawbacks, including autofluorescence, phototoxicity and photobleaching, resulting from that excitation light. In addition, fluorescence imaging has the unfortunate side effect of triggering cellular activation when combined with optogenetics – an otherwise extremely valuable tool. On the other hand, luminescence (in this case, a type of chemiluminescence called bioluminescence) imaging doesn't require light activation, and so eschews these issues – but currently suffers from low brightness and poor color variants.
Feeding knowledge directly into your brain, just like in sci-fi classic The Matrix, could soon take as much effort as falling asleep, scientists believe.
Sign me up. I want to have the knowledge of playing a guitar like a rock star. Implanted in my brain. Or better yet 4 years of college transferred to my brain.

Give me full knowledge of the IMDB database. Never again will I be wrong in the "who was that actor in that movie" debate!
Pass on that, can't trust the scores on IMDB since everyone has different taste in films
I'll wait for the download one. Better have some memories erased. My brain is full, I need more space in it.
