The military’s predominant research institution is launching an effort to further determine how people remember experiences, with the intent of improving the process. Should the project, managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), pan out, the benefits could be significant. In particular, service members who incur impaired memory due to combat injuries could find their ability to recall experiences greatly improved. The DARPA project, dubbed the Restoring Active Memory Replay, will take place over a two-year period. During that time, researchers will develop “rigorous computation methods,” which, in turn, they will use to determine which parts of the brain are involved in memorizing them. Additional focus will be directed on how important particular brain areas are to memory and recall. The study will involve real troops rather than computer simulations, to make the results as tangible and practical as possible.
