Thanks Michael. Just another great leap for neuroscience which leaves me bewildered & gaping !

I can only deduce that they're talking micro-chip technology which, not so long ago, was the stuff of far-fetched science fiction (or so we thought).

The idea of planting new memories to cut out the bother of training is mind-boggling (as in the trials with mice). Fascinating, even if it's wa-a-a-a-y over my head !! x

...and I doubt very much that it will be available on the NHS any time soon!

Well no, but every new innovation means there are good forces at work here & there, and one day it might just filter down.

Hope 2016 has good things in store for you Michael. :-/ x
