Det var en artikel om det i "Illustrerad vetenskap". Här är anledningen till "forskningen":

Citat:
By-pass of damaged brain region with a biomimetic device that mimics signal processing function of hippocampal neurons and circuits...
The purpose is to study the way living hippocampal neurons behave and exchange electrical signals and to adapt this behavior to a synthetic device; a computer chip.
Already successful on a number of levels, the research intends to provide a hitherto unavailable treatment for damaged brain function, either a result of injury or a result of disease, like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
