A prosthetic for the brain

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

What would you pay for a computer chip that could help you recall every piece of information that's passed through your brain? It's a question posed by New York University psychology professor Gary Marcus, who says implanting chips in human brains would help us overcome evolutionary limitations on memory.

Marcus is author of the new book Kluge: The Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind.
