With a jolt of electricity, you might be able to enter a flow state that allows you to learn a new skill twice as quickly, solve problems that have mystified you for hours, or even win a sharpshooting competition.<\/p>\n

And this just scratches the surface in terms of what we might be able to do to improve cognition as our understanding of the brain improves. With an implanted chip, the possibilities might be close to limitless.<\/p>\n

Researchers think that as we learn more about the brain, we\u2019ll be able to use electricity to boost focus, memory, learning, mathematical ability, and pattern recognition. Electric stimulation may also clear away depression and stave off cognitive decline. We\u2019ll eventually even implant computer chips that allow us to directly search the Web for information or even download new skills \u2014 like Neo learning kung fu inThe Matrix<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re heading down a path that will allow us to supercharge the brain.<\/p>\n

The key is decoding how the brain works. That\u2019s the hurdle in the way, and the one that billions of dollars in research are going toward right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any doubt we\u2019ll eventually understand the brain,\u201d says Gary Marcus,\u00a0a professor of psychology at New York University, and an editor of the upcoming book\u00a0The Future of the Brain: Essays by the World\u2019s Leading Neuroscientists<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n
