"Scientists have created a chip that allows rats to instantly know things. It's
amazing.
After studying the chemical interactions that allow short-term learning and
memorization in rats, a group of scientists lead by Dr. Theodore Berger—from the
University of South California's Viterbi School of Engineering—have built a
prosthetic chip that uses electrodes to enhance and expand their memory
abilities. The chip is capable of storing neural signals, basically functioning as an
electronic memory, allowing rats to learn more and keep it in the devices."
