Regardless that I missed this development I highly doubt the commercial products have any validity. I'll believe it when I see some peer-reviewed research from a credible source showing the validity of the product.

Are you from the UK? If not you may not realize that the Daily Fail is a notoriously bad paper, especially for science. Furthermore the article does not explain what is really going on in the study.

I'm American. That article on synthetic memories was just the first one that popped up in a Google search. Here's the original one I read:

For the umteenth time, I am not recommending people zap their brains or suggesting implanting memories whole hog into someone's head is going to happen anytime soon. Some people have no sense of humor.

That's a bit harsh. I have a sense of humour but didn't pick up on humour at all in your posts. Apologies for any aggravation.
