See the movie Memento for some complications with solving amnesia with pictures and written words. It doesn't matter if they are in a chip in yor brain or photos in your hand, or written info on paper. If you lack all memories of your friends and can't form new memories, what is the picture of them supposed to do? At least it can't remind me of something.  |
The picture triggers her memory. Patient looks at her son that image of her son is already in the chip - which then tells her brain who he is which then jogs her real memory and bang she knows who he is. This is all done in a milli second.

Ah well maybe the Chip will store new memories as well.
Ya see the chip is working with her vision what she/he sees the chip logs it into memory!
Far fetch of course but will have something like this (with a way better method than my caveman design) in the near future.
Yes ive seen Memento, cool movie.
