Thinking of machines ... I have read that about experiments which had the purpose of elucidating the excellent memories of some savants. The professor in question (a wizened little wizard with his hat turned the wrong way) discovered that if you block some centres in the brain with magnetic pulses then your test persons acquire intermittently some of the characteristics of savants, including artistic faculties and a 'sticky' memory. Which might give some smart guy the clue to invent a 'memory hat' which you can put on, and then you learn your 717 words for that day in a flash, after which you take off the hat and your brain resumes normal functioning mode - but hopefully 717 words richer.
OK, I'm normally not the one to try out all the newest gadgets before anybody else, and in this case this conservative attitude may be the wiser one. |

It seems little bit frightening or weird and what you've descirbed in particular is like that, spooky and nasty, but the magnets can be extremely useful. The magnets can treat some problems and have good effects, better than the chemical medicines. |

I was going to comment, but actually, I really wish the question didn't wander into esoteric mind-altering methods.
