Shocking the Brain Through Implants Significantly Increases Short-Term Memory

Shockingly, Robert Hampson has shown that sending an electrical pulse through a person’s brain via implants will increase short-term memory by over 30 percent. But how long will it be until this can be replicated outside of a lab? And who would be willing to get brain implants to increase their short-term memory? Guest: Robert E. Hampson, Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest School of Medicine
