You need a chip in the brain? THere is enough technology as of today to fuse the brain with a chip.
There it is. It can read you mind! You can move a mouse, and click with it. In my school, we have the reverse: You can make a blind man 'see' again with the chip in the brain and a light sensing module in the eyes!

Well, it is acually old news. Right now, they are trying to 'record and play' the mind of a monkey (persumably on another monkey)
You know very well that knowing is very different from manipulating. We can know the weather, but controlling the weather is a bit more challenging (although it can be done in a small scale). For the mind issue, we also have a question of morality.
Even if they do know, will the government allow human test subject? Would you volunteer to have your mind altered?

The way I see it is that the study of brain will remain similiar to weather pattern study. For most part, we can only observe. We can only manipulate and control in very small cases/scale.
The way to prove if something is true is NOT by tempering with the weather/mind, but to predict the outcome of a certain condition. For example, under what condition (of the brain) will a person have better self control? (Akin to under what condition is a storm likely?)
