TOP 10 Implausible Future Technologies From Fiction That Are On Their Way : <br /> <br />10. Deleting Or Replacing Memories : <br /> <br />For some time, neurologists have known that the brain is not the biological hard drive that we may perceive it to be, with our experiences etched indelibly as memories. Rather, memories are not so much created as recreated, over and over, through a process known as memory reconsolidation. <br />When an event is recalled, it is essentially recalibrated and refiled in the brain, often (if not always) colored by the mood and mindset at the time of recall. <br />More recently, a link has been made between a certain protein (known as “PKMzeta”) and the retention of memories. Certain drugs (“PKMzeta inhibitors”) have had success with blocking unwanted traumatic memories in patients by—wait for it—inhibiting PKMzeta production, which has the effect of severely limiting long-term recollection. <br />Meanwhile, researchers have also discovered how to hack the brain’s reconsolidation process to change the information being processed, essentially using the power of suggestion. One psychologist used this technique to convince subjects they’d committed a fictional crime, which they were later able to provide a detailed description of despite the fact that it never happened. <br />It has been suggested that a combination of these two techniques—blocking "PKMzeta" production while forcing recall of a memory, invoking the reconsolidation process—could basically result in that memory being deleted forever. <br /> <br />9.
