DESIGNER MIDS. “We’re likely to gain the ability to improve human memory, to speed the rate at which people can learn things, even to save memories offline and relive them.” https://lnkd.in/eFd9Fdg View in LinkedIn

MEMORY IMPLANTS. "Ultimately, Berger wants to restore the ability to create long-term memories by implanting chips like these in the brain.” https://lnkd.in/dexYqgY View in LinkedIn

ELECTRONIC MEMORY IMPLANT. “This audacious idea is based on silicon chips that mimic the signal processing involved in memory retrieval in the brain. Rat and monkey implants suggest that the chips can process signals like actual neurons and retrieve long-term memories from the hippocampus.” (Theodore Berger). https://lnkd.in/dexYqgY View in LinkedIn

EXPANDED PROSTHESIS. “Over the past few decades, we as a society have become comfortable with medical devices being implanted in various parts of our bodies, such as pacemakers for the heart, artificial hips and prosthetic limbs. But now this idea of prosthetic supplementation has reached the brain.” https://lnkd.in/driwVWw View in LinkedIn

DARPA MEMORY. “If work being backed by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) goes according to plan, we one day will be able to implant chips into our brains that will make sure we never forget anything...Scientists have already tested out implants in people suffering from brain injuries to improve their memory.” https://lnkd.in/d86AmuV View in LinkedIn

MEMORY IMPLANTS. “New electric array brain implants are reportedly "showing promise" in assisting people who are trying to dig up memories from the farthest reaches of their minds. What makes the new process so innovative is the way it 'reads' the neural processes of the brain - it can see how our minds form and retrieve memories, and is even able to predict when our powers of recall are about to let us down.” http://www.sciencealert.com/us-defence-scientists-have-invented-a-brain-implant-that-boosts-memory View in LinkedIn

ELECTROMAGNETIC STIMULATION. “Multiple-session stimulation increased functional connectivity among distributed cortical-hippocampal network regions and concomitantly improved associative memory performance. These alterations involved localized long-term plasticity because increases were highly selective to the targeted brain regions, and enhancements of connectivity and associative memory persisted for ~24 hours after stimulation. Targeted cortical-hippocampal networks can thus be enhanced noninvasively, demonstrating their role in associative memory.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25170153 View in LinkedIn

NON-INVASIVE. “We therefore used targeted noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation to modulate human cortical-hippocampal networks and tested effects of this manipulation on memory.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25170153 View in LinkedIn

OPTOGENIC MEMORY MANIPULATION. “We found that in the DG, the neurons carrying the memory engram of a given neutral context have plasticity such that the valence of a conditioned response evoked by their reactivation can be reversed by re-associating this contextual memory engram with a new unconditioned stimulus of an opposite valence.” https://lnkd.in/d7i_gkP View in LinkedIn

MEMORY MANIPULATION. “Two new reports this week may be moving the study of memory into a brave new world, where we can not only monitor memory but manipulate it." (2014). https://lnkd.in/dFkUkGP View in LinkedIn
