Seriously though, I wouldn't want to be an early adopter of any technology that messes with brain function, but this seems to have a lot of potential.

Song calls the device a "memory prosthesis." The Parylene C — a biocompatible USP class VI polymer — neural probe sports an electrode array for detecting and ultimately reproducing electrical firing patterns in the hippocampus.

Now imagine that hooked up to a storage device.
