$100 million project aims to develop memory-enhancing brain implants

The idea of implanting brain chips into people to give them superhuman memory might sound like the plot of the latest science fiction film. But one pioneering neuroscientist is ready to start trialling this futuristic technology in humans. The memory chips have already been successfully tested in rats, and could one day be a commercially available product to allow anyone to boost their memory. The idea of implanting brain chips into people to give them supersonic memory might sound like the plot of the latest science fiction film. The pioneering software works to convert short-term memories into long-term ones, overall enhancing memory. To convert short-term memories into long-term ones, the brain send a pattern of electrical signals in a unique code.
