Forums - General Discussion - Total Recall - A real possibility?

According to an article published in Nature Neuroscience, it seems that memories can be induced into brain.

Oh boy, this is crazy...Is this very total recall? And I wonder whether they talk about removing memories, so that would be the Eternal susnhine of the spotless mind too. Here's the link http://gizmodo.com/5942291/scientists-invent-method-to-create-memories-in-brains

Just smoke enough weed. You will only remember the good stuff if anything at all.  Actually, I have a few bad memories that my brain won't let me forget.  My long term memory is usually pretty good.  My short term isn't top notch.



Getting High just to get rid of memories (which I doubt actually works for long) is not the best idea. :P

That is freaky though...

How about drink till the pain goes away?  The main problem with turning to drugs is that when you wake up sober (or with a hangover) then you still gotta deal with your problems.  Drugs are only a temporary relief from the madness we call life.



All of our brains could be hooked up to some supercomputer right now. The entire universe could be made up. Our reality could be made up. The only knowledge of reality we have is based on our subjective perceptions which we cannot never truly know if they're true or not.

I heard we all live in a hologram universe and that our real bodies are on the outside.  So when we die and go see "God" (towards the light) we are really just traveling out of the hologram world into the real world.



it might be a real possibility but nothing is going to come of it.
