The World’s First Memory Expansion for Brain

After conducting a study regarding the chemical interactions that gave rats a short-term learning and memorization, Dr. Theodore Berger from University of South California’s Viterbi School of Engineering, invented a prosthetic chip with some help from a group of scientists.

By using electrodes, this prosthetic chip enhances and expands the brain memory abilities of rats. The chip also has the capability to store neural signals and do work as an electronic memory device, thus, allowing animals (rats) to learn new knowledge and keep it in the devices.

Currently, the group is working for another experiment, and that is to reproduce the same results in other animals — such as monkeys.
