Chips Coming to a Brain Near You





"Professor Theodore W. Berger, director of the Center for Neural Engineering at the University of Southern California, is creating a silicon chip implant that mimics the hippocampus, an area of the brain known for creating memories. If successful, the artificial brain prosthesis could replace its biological counterpart, enabling people who suffer from memory disorders to regain the ability to store new memories."

Record your thoughts directly to chip; "neuroblogging" comes one incremental step closer to reality.
