CUT AND PASTE MEMORIES. “MIT neuroscientist Roger Redondo and his team started by gathering a sample group of genetically engineered mice. This system enabled the team to use doxycycline as a sort of “record/pause” button for neural activity in the animals’ brains.” https://lnkd.in/dk3ExPV View in LinkedIn

IMPLANTED MEMORIES. “Scientists can make copies of memories.” (Ted Berger). "I asked Berger if his artificial hippocampus could be used to implant false memories in people. He said that they’ve tried it with monkeys and found that giving their brains a code for the wrong symbol sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t." https://lnkd.in/diFYbCn View in LinkedIn

THE POSSIBILITIES. “What would you give for a retinal chip that let you see in the dark or for a next-generation cochlear implant that let you hear any conversation in a noisy restaurant, no matter how loud? Or for a memory chip, wired directly into your brain's hippocampus, that gave you perfect recall of everything you read?” http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

MORE POSSIBLES. “Or for an implanted interface with the Internet that automatically translated a clearly articulated silent thought ("the French sun king") into an online search that digested the relevant Wikipedia page and projected a summary directly into your brain?” http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

FUTURE APPLICATIONS. “Now the researchers are working on applying that technique to reconstructing the imaginary—images seen by the mind’s eye or the internal speech that narrates your thoughts. These scientists too envision helping people with locked-in syndrome or ALS communicate, perhaps by using a device that would speak their thoughts aloud.” http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-bright-approach-to-brain-implants-1453480543 View in LinkedIn

NEARLY THERE. “Delgado dreamed of using his electrodes to tap directly into human thoughts: to read them, edit them, improve them. “The human race is at an evolutionary turning point. We’re very close to having the power to construct our own mental functions." http://www.wired.com/2016/01/phil-kennedy-mind-control-computer/ View in LinkedIn

NEURAL DUST. “They are developing a wireless brain interface that they call "neural dust." Thousands of biologically neutral microsensors, on the order of one-tenth of a millimeter (approximately the thickness of a human hair), would convert electrical signals into ultrasound that could be read outside the brain.” http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

DARK USE. “The U.S. military wants soldiers that have superhuman eyesight, controllable augmented muscles that turn untrained novices into expert killers, and more. The report, titled Cyborg Soldiers 205: Human/ Machine Fusion and the Implications for the Future of the DOD, reads like the framework for a dystopian novel set in a near future where injured soldiers are cybernetically enhanced, but come home to an America terrified of cyborgs.” https://lnkd.in/deGnthG View in LinkedIn
