In this paper, I am going to consider a futuristic technology that crosses the borders of bio-materialism. This device will have the ability to transmit and transfer or download information on command into or out of our biological brain. Before heading to the ethical implications of this device, I would like to explain how it operates. This device will be a small memory chip implanted into our brain and would have an associated app downloaded into an electronic device (computer, phone, or electronic book).
Making of this kind of a device isn't that far away. Already artificial memory chips have been created and tested on rats. This new brain connecting device tested on rats restored lost memories at the flick of a switch and turned it on and vice-versa. Our memory is transmitted in the form of signal flashes or waves and the research shows that if there's enough information about the neural coding of memories, the signal patterns can be recorded and duplicated, and restored later through a neural implantation.
So we can be sure that in the future this is going to be tested on us, human beings, and later brought out as memory products in market, causing deviations from the present biological brain system. When thinking about the positive side of a device like this, it can have many positive sides such as; it can be used for patients with dementia or people with memory loss problems. For example, if we forget where we kept our car keys, or forget where we came from few moments back, this device can help. It can also enhance the memory power of our brain. Also it will help in the problem of memory disorder in aging and disease associated with loss of function in the hippocampus, the part of our brain that deals with memory." This device would mimic the hippocampus, an area of the brain known for creating memories. This artificial brain prosthesis could replace its biological counterpart, enabling people who suffer from memory disorders to regain the ability to store new memories.
