Memory glasses

Whatever you need to remember is programmed into a tiny computer that you wear. The computer sends messages in the form of light to a mini TV screen on the glasses. The messages -- like someone's name, or a word like keys or medicine -- flash before your eyes at 180th of a second. It's too fast for the eyes to notice, but not the brain. "Our tests have shown a 50 percent better memory with these than without, and the thing that's interesting is that people aren't even aware that anything is happening," [MIT spokesman Dr. Alex] Pentland said.
