Brain and cognition researcher, Shrey Grover, talks about his experiments stimulating the brain with electric currents to see how people think, remember, and behave.

Brain stimulation devices are being developed to cater to different memory functions.

• Memory function is not a single entity but consists of different types.
• Alzheimer’s disease affects episodic memory more than procedural memory.
• Brain stimulation tools are being developed for each memory function.
• Understanding the brain is key to developing effective brain stimulation devices.
• Brain stimulation can potentially aid memory retention.
• Different memory functions may be impacted by different conditions.
• Memory function can be enhanced with the right brain stimulation.
