  • The engram is created when an event is encoded by neurons in the hippocampus, a key area for memory formation.

The article from MSN explores the concept of accessing and preserving the memories of deceased individuals through advanced technological means. It discusses the idea of "engrams," which are physical traces left in the brain by experiences, and how scientists and technologists are working towards capturing these memories. The piece delves into various speculative and emerging technologies like brain-computer interfaces, AI, and digital reconstruction to potentially allow survivors to interact with or recall the memories of their loved ones. It highlights ethical, privacy, and emotional considerations, questioning the implications of such technologies on grief, identity, and the human experience. The article also touches on current research in neuroscience and AI, suggesting that while the technology is still in its infancy, the quest to digitally preserve human memories could redefine our relationship with death and memory.
