DARPA Has Made a Brain Implant That Boosts Your Memory |
2015-09-19 |
h/t Instapundit In what may seem like a Hollywood blockbuster, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has developed an implant that goes directly onto the human brain. The agency wrote in a statement their device is showing promise with improving patient's memory tests scores. It is "raising hope that such approaches may someday help individuals suffering from memory deficits as a result of traumatic brain injury or other pathologies." Will I be able to 'mind link' directly to my HP printer or will I need a USB cable ? DARPA's Restoring Active Memory (RAM) program presented their preliminary findings at the 'Wait, What? A Future Technology Forum,' which is also hosted by the agency at St. Louis. At present, educational/academic systems are dominated by people who have good memory & good communication skills---but not paricularly bright or creative otherwise |

#4 Cyborgs do not eat normal food; rather, they eat special processed protein bars which provide nutrients for their remaining organic parts. This "food" does not taste good to those who still have organic taste buds due to an inability to manipulate taste input cybernetically. The FLOTUS school menu was the Beta test. |
