A microchip is an integrated circuit. What do you call a microchip integrated into the circuit of our brains? The answer is Dr. Theodore Berger’s research. It is not science fiction but complex science that is working to replicate the electrical and chemical codes that neurons send out when retrieving memories. Beginning with successful tests in rats and monkeys, Berger has now begun human testing in the last year.
