It's fucking happening. The hippocampal prosthetic from

This literally opens the door to cybernetic memory manipulation. How long to we full on singulo?

wow that's really impressive.
I was going to post just how he's autistic and funny but that surprisingly seems to work.

Ehh? I thought we had no idea how memory works

What's the trick?

can it be hacked

>>8292378
We have no idea how or why antidepressants work but we can still engineer new ones with an acceptable margin of therapeutic value. This implant is similar in that respect.

>>8292384
if you access it physically yeah...

but all you'll be able to do is turn it off as there isn't much to the implant.
you can either improve memory storing inmto the brain or turn it down/off by hacking it.

Doesn't seems very worth the effort of opening someone's head

>>8292384
Anon you are gold

>>8292664
what if you can turn it up really high and then get really high? ...... or smarter

>>8291626
Except they don't function well over the long term. Our neural interfaces still suck and still tend to kill neurons.

>>8292378
We don't. we just have some big nasty mathematical function mapping what the outputs should be from a series of inputs.

>>8292384
Yes and no. Yes in that DBS and neural interfaces have been shown to have tremendously shitty security.

No in that what they are trying to make is some ASIC that doesn't do much more than pretend to be hippocampus tissue.

What if we never have a good understanding of how the brain works. The future just got way more cyberpunk.

How come the singularity shitposter isn't here?

I'm surprised how many people are interested in mechanical augmentation but don't drink jasmine tea. What gives

>>8292378
if you're actually interested, watch the video. it's not too hard to understand.

>>8292719
>tend to kill neurons.
I'd like to know more about that.

>>8291626
What powers the device? Surely they can't open up a person's head and do brain surgery whenever they need to replace a battery.

>>8291626

Thats not even how brains work you kike.

>>8293110
Is that a reference to something? I don't get it.

In most parts of the body, and the CNS is no exception, foreign bodies cause a rejection response and result in scarring. Fortunately there has been significant advancement in the production of conductive materials that do not have this response.

I'd really expect gold to work desu.
