Researchers learned to change people's brain structures to make them better at certain tasks. But... They weren't aware of getting better at those tasks! Creepy!
Note that the matrix-style learning aspect is only in the news bulletin, the actual study has no such information.
In fact the skill they learned was not even useful.
But it is nice to see proof that subliminal messaging can work.

I'd love to see a more technical discussion.
