Memory Research Getting Ever More Scary

By Daniel Miessler on September 22nd, 2008: Tagged as Science

Scientists are now isolating precisely where memories are located within the brain, and they can see them being accessed before the human knows they are. Cool stuff. Scary stuff.

The most telling quote:

Ultimately, it was possible for the researchers to know which clip a patient was recalling before the patient announced it.

Science-fiction.
