In Dick\u2019s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? &#8211; upon which the 1982 movie classic Blade Runner is based &#8211; people used the device to choose moods ranging from &quot;cheerful&quot; to &quot;self-accusatory depression&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Sabes told a London conference such devices were possible and brain stimulation was already being used in trials to help boost the mood of people suffering from untreatable depression. \u201cThis might sound like it\u2019s getting towards sci-fi, like Philip K Dick\u2019s mood organ, but the idea that you can wake up and dial up your mood is something that might be a possibility,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Rachel Riley fumes as she&apos;s confronted by lads celebrating terror attack on UK streets<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31138454.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/2_On-the-Set-of-Blade-Runner.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou won\u2019t need drugs any more because everything you can do with drugs you could do with these devices.
