      To be honest I have no idea. It is very science fiction and a cool idea. I think that scientists have been working on making a chip that can help people with Alzheimer’s remember things. I think that we may be able to make a chip to enhance memory but to implant specific memories would be a lot more difficult. I can’t see it happening any time in the new future.
