Anonymous Coward User ID: 16845676 United States 05/09/2013 06:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Brain implants: Restoring memory with a microchip "I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime," said Ted Berger, professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "I might not benefit from it myself but my kids will." They concentrate on the hippocampus -- part of the cerebral cortex which sits deep in the brain -- where short-term memories become long-term ones. Berger has looked at how electrical signals travel through neurons there to form those long-term memories and has used his expertise in mathematical modeling to mimic these movements using electronics.

The chip would begin to think for the person, overriding their basic emotions in decision making. It will change their dna to become more machine then man. |

How exactly would it rewrite your (organic) DNA into a (non organic) machine? That doesn't make sense. But there could be other consequences, ever notice all the permissions you have to accept when downloading apps on Android? Imagine having GPS or rfid implanted in your brain. The benefits of brain implants could be mind blowing, ground shaking, and earth changing. Imagine being able to remember EVERYTHING you've ever learned. Or being able to learn new languages in minutes, maybe even telepathic-like communication. All in all one must weigh the possible benefits against the possibility that they would be under even more govt control. Personally I find the idea rather intriguing and would definitely CONSIDER getting the implants. PropaGhandi |
