Scientists from the Schools of Viterbo University of southern California, headed by Dr. Theodore Berger has created an electronic chip that can be implanted into the brain and connected to it by means of electrodes.
Using the signals of these electrodes, the chip can store data, acting as an extension of the memory capacity of the brain.
Rodents, which held the first trial of this implant, I remember some of the facts at the time when the implant was switched on. When it was turned off, the rodents were completely forgotten what was contained in the memory of the implant. “Just turn on the switch and rodents remember …. Turn it off and rodents forget …” – said in a press release.
