X-Message-Number: 25003 From: "The NanoAging Institute" <> Subject: Chips Coming to a Brain Near You Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 04:00:14 -0500 In this era of high-tech memory management, next in line to get that memory upgrade isn't your computer, it's 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. http://www.nanoaging.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=663 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=25003
