What could go wrong?

The scientists will develop a miniature wireless device that can be implanted for the long-term in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus — regions of the brain associated with memory. Patients will wear an external device around the ear, akin to a hearing aid, to store information and hold the telemetry. The team has developed a number of small, implantable devices. No word on whether they intend to implant memories a la Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Total Recall.”
