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 PROSTHESIS. “In rats, we’ve restored damaged memories via a “hippocampus chip” implanted in the brain. Human trials are starting this year. Now, you say your memory is just fine. Well, in rats, this chip can actually improve memory. And researchers can capture the neural trace of an experience, record it, and play it back any time they want later on. Sounds useful.” https://lnkd.in/eFd9Fdg View in LinkedIn

THE MERGER. “Each brain cell grows small branches across the chip surface, searching for life. When a branch picks up an electrical signal from another nerve cell, it forms a connection or synapse. The same happens if it picks up a signal from the surface of the chip. So your brain is programmed to recognise and install such devices automatically, though bio-software may need to be developed.” http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2015/12/ideas-bank/patrick-dixon-wear-chip-brain View in LinkedIn

NORMALIZED CYBERNETICS. “More than 400,000 human beings already have a digital device inside their heads, with more than 50,000 new surgical operations taking place every year. Most of these devices are connected to the auditory nerve as cochlear implants, to treat deafness, and a few to the optic nerve or the retina.” http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2015/12/ideas-bank/patrick-dixon-wear-chip-brain 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
