Person for the first time improved memory brain implant



Человеку впервые улучшили память мозговым имплантом

In these days, many people, from inventors to large ministries and agencies, are trying by all means to improve the functioning of the human brain. Including those with implants. For the first time in history, some testers have made progress in this direction.

So, Dong song, Professor biomedic working at USC (University of southern California), demonstrated enhancement of human memory with the help of the implant into the brain. A kind of “prosthetic memory” he presented in Washington at the last meeting of the Society of neuroscience. In other words, we are dealing with the world’s first electronic device, effective in the development of human memory.

A team of scientist tested the device in action on the twenty volunteers, wearing brain electrodes for the treatment of epilepsy. Available implants and helped to connect the device of the song to the brain to collect information about its activity in the process of conducting tests when stimulated memory working or short-term.

Further, experts have identified the structure that is associated with optimal memory. The electrodes of the device is then applied in order to stimulate the next tests according to a given template brain. Analysing the data, they concluded that such stimulation 25% developed working memory and 15% – short-term memory.

In the words of the song, they manage to create a neural code that improve memory function, but did not achieve never before. Moreover, this unit is able to radically change the lives of patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. In the meantime, the office of the song is being further tests. However, a large likely is its occurrence in real clinical practice.
