DARPA - The U.S. Defense Advanced Research and Development Agency is working on a program to restore memory damaged by traumatic brain injuries.
In a recently released release, DARPA confirms the start of work on Restoring Active Memory (RAM), or memory recovery. We are talking about a small implantable neural interface that will decode the signals and impulses of the brain, processing them, and thereby recovering memories.
Work on the project will take place in several stages. In particular, before creating a “gadget”, the Agency will develop a special model that will calculate how memories are “modeled” in the human brain. And only then will he begin work on an implantable device, the primary purpose of which will be the stimulation of certain parts of the brain, and then decoding and processing of information.
According to statistics, only 1, 7 million people among the US civilian population suffer from memory loss as a result of traumatic brain injuries, while modern methods of care and recovery are too long and do not always have the desired result.
