America developed chips implanted in human brains

The implantable chips into the brain developed by the US Department of Defense DARPA Senior Project can help US veterans recover the memory function of traumatic brain.

The implantable chips into the brain developed by the US Department of Defense DARPA Senior Project can help US veterans recover the memory function of traumatic brain.

The Department of Defense DARPA Senior Project Department has officially funded the project of manufacturing brain implants called Restoring Active Memory (RAM - Revitalized Memory) jointly coordinated by the University of California and Pennsylvania University. show. The purpose of this project is to restore the memory function for veterans of brain injury.

Since 2000, there have been about 270,000 American soldiers and 1.7 million Americans suffering from brain injuries. These people cannot remember events that occurred before brain injury. Currently, there are no effective treatments for this syndrome.

The University of California and Pennsylvania will jointly develop computer models on how to build memories of nerve cells. Scientists will study neural signals to verify whether the simulated processes help recreate the brain's memory function.

The University of Kansas and Case Western University have successfully reproduced the memory of mice in the same way

More specifically, the researchers will use data collected from electrophysiologically implanted patients into the brain to create a model for the area of ​​the brain responsible for remembering memories. Then, the computer system will record data from the brain of brain surgery patients when they play memory reconstruction games.

The model of the two universities will be combined to create a unified system. The purpose of the RAM project is to take nerve signals from the normal brain region, separate them from the damaged brain area to create a bonding wire that is as active as the normal brain.

It is expected that this ambitious Pentagon project and the two universities will last for 4 years.
