Scientists Unveil Implant For Prisoners To Show Them 'Memories' From Their Victim's Perspective

It's astounding what scientists can currently accomplish with the latest technological advances.

There's no denying that we are moving toward the future, even though it scares a lot of people.

A scientist has revealed an idea for a prison of the future that, according to him, will expedite a criminal's release from years or even decades to minutes. 

This fact alone is undoubtedly proof of that.

The plan, called Cognify, would create artificial memories of a criminal in the mind of the individual.

The piece of equipment would display the viewpoint of their victim.

One potential aspect of the futuristic system would be a VR-like device that shows AI-generated video of the crime the offender has done.

This may then be combined with a brain implant that creates feelings of regret or remorse—emotions that, for example, a murderer would never naturally experience.

Hashem Al-Ghaili, the concept developer, has big plans for the technology since he thinks the therapy session's lasting impacts would create enduring memories.

For what seems like years now, officials have claimed that incarceration keeps criminals from committing new crimes, but more than 100 studies done in 2021 discovered that this is untrue.

Al-Ghaili wants to use a prison to help offenders learn from their difficult pasts in order to change all of this.

A narrative film described the concept's precise operation as follows: "Cognify could someday create and implant artificial memories directly into the prisoner’s brain."

"These complex, vivid and life-like memories are created in real-time using AI-generated content."

The criminal's rehabilitation would only take several minutes, but it would probably feel like years.

"Inside the criminal’s mind, time would pass differently slower than in real life, making them experience years-worth," the video shared.

Prior to starting therapy, inmates have their brains scanned with high resolution, which produces a thorough map of their neurological networks.

This enables Cognify to concentrate on particular brain areas that are in charge of memory, reasoning, and logical thought processes.

The hippocampus, parietal lobe, amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex include them.

In addition to all of these visual consequences, the tech might cause a physical reaction by making the perpetrator experience the anguish and suffering that their victim went through.

"Some memories are designed to trigger consequences and trauma," the video added.

"Such memories could simulate the long-term consequences of violent actions, such as the grief of the victim's family or the physical and emotional trauma endured by the victim."
