• Resumen

  • Human memory is about to get supercharged. A memory prosthesis being trialled next year could not only restore long-term recall but may eventually be used to upload new skills directly to the brain--just like in the film The Matrix. The first trials will involve people with epilepsy. To repair this ability, Theodore Herger at the University of Southern California and his colleagues used electrodes already implanted in people's brains as part of epilepsy treatment to record electrical activity associated with memory.
