First results of DARPA brain implants: improve memory

brain implants

According to DARPA statements, the group of volunteers who underwent brain implants are experiencing improvements in memory. The project, Restoring Active Memory (curiously the acronym is RAM, just like the memory of a computer) can promote the mnemonic and cognitive recovery of all subjects affected by brain trauma. The group of volunteers, subjected to surgery for the positioning of brain implants through electrodes close to the regions of the brain responsible for the development of declarative memory, obtained better results...
