Coming Soon: Photographic Memory in a Pill?

At last, I shall be an evil genius! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Will this increase the expectations of educations?

Right On. Not only can I observe and reap my environment of all the information, useless or not, but now I can recall It all. When is it Available to the Public? Has it been Tested n Humans? Can I test it?

Can you Single out Auditory Memory Proteins so I can become a better Musician? How about some artificial or even transplanted Proteins from Brilliant Minds? Finally so many people are intrigued with the Mind that competition in Understanding and Manipulating might actually get us somewhere beyond significant. Woot. Well this is 2009 and I expect even more rapidly advancing technology to bring us as super human as possible.

Whoa! I just had that cold shiver down my back when you get a whicked idea..
I want to use a Memory Enhancing Drug to Triple My Cortex Proteins just to remember the Physics in my Dreams! Then hopefully I could re-create/re-call these manifested physics and use them in Reality. Not saying ill be kicking my feet and flying above Winnipeg or anything, but learning how to use my Eyes and Ears better like Hearing or Seeing things that could very well exist, but can only be theorized to be explained. Like a Mass of Matter moving Through us, or We Through It... Well that is far fetched. Maybe. Overall to strengthen my Mentality is a goal.

The Spanish always have great stuff!

Dude, I would buy that stuff by the truckload!

What was this article about?

Education expectations would rise dramatically, kids would be doing subjects considered advanced by today's standards and be doing chemistry in secondary/middle school, while high schoolers would be taking post-grad courses.

How is this a good idea?

Also, DarkFX's rant is pointless beyond any comparison.

OH MY GOSH, I WANT

Or, maybe having images in your mind that won't go away will give you a psychosis. Once you damage a mind, it could be tough to repair. I hope that they approach this verrrry carefully.

Yes, I believe the ability to forget is just as important as the ability to remember. A lot of screwed up things happen in this world, and our memories have evolved over millions of years to be selective. I predict an extreme rise in many mental illnesses as a result of this, post-traumatic stress disorder, increased stress in general - we're people not computers!

Sounds like we're bout to make an evolutionary leap forward. Its scary but fascinating at the same time.

i have the memory of a goldfish, this will be a godsent. i'll be test subject #2

Hello, I am sorry to say that it takes about two years to put things into mass production AND the experiment was both done on a very different species than our own and required a surgeon to remove part of the brain... That would not be practical for mass distribution. It may be available to extraordinary individuals in the near future however i doubt it will be for us... I am also very interested in the long-term affects of this. It will, in my opinion, be the orga version of overclocking your computer. I would like to point out before I finish that while some of what I say might make since... I am no expert and my words should not hold heavy weight. Never fear though, for those of you who think I might be right either on the time to our use or the probability of it because technology is advancing faster every day.

I think this will blow over in a few weeks, just because the know how to make it dosent mean that they will mass produse it, if they use cloning of the cells that produse the protine maybe , but we can clone sheep and stuf today but it takes 100's of trys.

Remembering is one thing, application is another.

You can remember all types of algorithms and theories but what good is that if you cannot apply?

Does anyone else have a problem with taking a pill that was tested on lobotomized RATS? How about something you'd wear like this?

This still won't help me remember what my girlfriend said 5 minutes ago.

I can't help but wonder, will this "memory pill" render the beer goggles useless? Once taken, will you be doomed to remember, in vivid detail, the appearance of the heifer you took home the night before ?

Betcha didn't think of that one, huh?

-Captain Science-

Yay, maybe now I can remember where i've left my cell phone. It seems like at least twice a day I can't remember where I have left it, and without a land line at home I can never call it.

I found this idea interesting when I found it today, but after think about it and talking to a friend, I wounder if its a good thing. Theres alot I don't think we know about the brain, so adding excessive amounts of protine to stimulate memory is questionative idea. What if we can't take all of the memories? And what if we forget how to prodice these protines, as our bodies become used to it coming from a pill? I am interest non the less and I would like a chance to test it out if I could. I would study both the progression of memory, as well as my bodies accepence and adaption to the pill.

That's the right direction we are heading!!!! We are now in the very beginning stage of becoming the REAL super intelligence beings in the universe!!!

Jivaii said: "[kids] will be doing chemistry in secondary/middle school" Hahahaha! Or you can save the money on pills and homeschool them. Mine do chemistry, biology and physics in third, fourth and fifth grade, not to mention world history, Latin and Literature.

This pill could be handy. Of course I already know everything that there is to know about..well..pretty much everything, but finally I'll be able to recall some of it.

that would be awesome.

While memory and the ability to retain information is a great thing, good only comes from what one does with what he or she knows. What we know is only raw material for native intelligence to use. I foresee big problems going with a sudden increase in visual retention for most of us. People born with perfect pitch or photographic memory have a lifetime to adjust to the demands these abilities place on their lives and not all have done so effectively. One must always be careful what one wishes for, lest it actually come true.

With this pill all school tests would be pointless. Kids would look at every page of the book and know all the answers. Then they would understand nothing because they would have no comprehension of what they "learned".

hold your horses. remembering is one thing. understanding what you remember is definitely quite another. what makes you think that just because you can remember something that you also "understand" it. two entirely different things that won't make you the mad scientist that you want to be.

one piece of advice though... [don't take it before you watch p9rn... will be bad and annoying to remember the same thing over 2 months...]

I guess A+ won't be enough soon... And for the people who don't have money to buy the pill?...

Wow, that would be just great !

If it pans out, the world would be radically changed for the better. Scientific research would blossom. The pace of technological change would increase exponentially. The future would be at our door step.

Of course some people, like Jivali, would be unhappy. If we cured cancer what would we do with all those cancer survivors? Population would increase dramatically. Is this a good thing?

I think so.

Ill bet they start testing students piss for this before long. Just rember kids that what has been seen cannot be unseen, flash some smuch high on this some gore and they'll be tormented for years :D

I for one...welcome our new super intelligent rodent masters.

omg - this would be sooo cool. i need one of these he he. animemaster i think you're right - ppl will be mad cheating on tests! http://factoidz.com/angies-list

..typical lies about the powers of modern medicine with it's (potential) abilities to make humans become superpowerful or even immortal. One protein can never really do it - it should be something more complex.

Finally, who said they'll share it with you?! If you want the s**t then make it by yourself!!

There's no need to wait for a pill to unlock your photographic memory. We are all born with it and you can tap into your genius right now. You can learn at the speed of light using a natural learning process called Mental Photography that allows you to take in information at over 100 times faster than the average reading speed. There is a ton of amazing information on this. Go to: http://www.getaphotographicmemory.com

This brings to mind a phrase that the evil dude from The Incredibles (from Pixar) says...

When everyone is super - no one is.

All this drug will do is make game shows like Jeopardy more boring than they already are because a single question might be "Recall the text for the Encyclopedia Britannica for the year 1995". At which point the contestant will rattle off the entire content of the Encyclopedia Britannica for the year 1995 over the next 3 or 4 weeks.

Also, this drug will put many, many relationships in jeopardy due to the loss of one of mankinds simplest excuses - I forgot!

Ps. And By the way...

All the cool, groovy new stuff we're discovering won't mean mean squat if we don't get off the planet in a big way.

It is not even a question of If, but When is the world going to suffer another extinction event. You know, like that 1.5 mile wide crater in Arizona. Or the almost overnight forming of the Black Sea. If all we're doing up till then is checking out cool, new stuff and killing each other over differences of opinion (religions, mankinds anchor against really understanding our place in the universe!!), then we won't matter any more than we do now, cause we'll either be extinct or back in the dark ages again.

You realize just how completely, ridiculously ignorant the human race is when you realize that we spend billions on killing each other, but can't afford to prepare for the end of the world. Again, I don't know when, and I don't know how, but somewhere out there is a volcano or a meteoroid with a phrase scratched into it - "Earth or bust!".

Could happen at any time. If we don't get it done, we won't deserve to live, although it will be a tad too late to care at that point.

I must add in... anybody remember...

Flowers for Algernon?

"They then increased the production of a group of proteins"

So... not a pill. How'd they do that?

BTW, enzymes in your stomach (produced by the pancreas) are pretty good at breaking down proteins... that's their job. I think they break down almost any protein into peptides and amino acids before you absorb them in your small intestine... I could be wrong. I think the problem is how to have the protein working where it needs to be working.

They are either a) doing some genetic thing (genes produce proteins), or b) some supply-side increase or intruducing something that causes more creation of this protein, or c) inhibiting an enzyme that normally keeps this protein at a normal level.

Yes? I'm not trained in medicine so feel free to correct.
