Great link!!!
This study reminds me of another study I read about in school (over 30 years ago now) in which the subjects' brains were exposed and probes were inserted that vividly brought back memories of happier times and beautiful music, among other things. The author said that this could be useful therapy for Altzheimer's patients or a way simply to alleviate depression in aging people. It always sounded like a great trip to me. Never heard about any follow-up to it, though--the risk of infection might have been too great, and the expense was probably tremendous.
