Abstract

Advances in the study of memory engrams are exciting in the development of neuroscience. Through optogenetic techniques, scientists have succeeded in awakening dormant memories in mice, and although the experiments were limited to animals, this has provided a theoretical and practical basis for future artificial memory awakening techniques. The development of BCI is equally noteworthy, and it attracts the attention of many in the scientific community gradually. In recent visual BCI studies, researchers have decoded the state of the human brain when visual stimuli are generated and reconstructed it into images by using a new neurofeedback model, which also makes it possible to conduct future visualization studies of memory. After summarizing the developments on memory engram and BCI studies and combining them, it was found that visibly artificial memory retrieval techniques may be realized in the future. Before that, however, more research on brain signaling is needed, and the pharmacological and technical difficulties in human clinical trials remain a challenge for scientists.
