Brain electric stimulation may help people create memories

Stimulating the brain with electrical signals could help people suffering from memory loss to remember new events. Researchers found deep brain stimulation with electrodes helped people who usually struggle to remember things to create new memories. The discovery could one day be used to help people suffering from conditions such as dementia and epilepsy, the researchers claimed. The researchers studied 102 patients being treated for drug-resistant epilepsy. They recorded electrical activity from electrodes implanted in the patients' brains.
