Some current research focuses on restoring inoperative short-term memory in accident victims and lost access to long-term memory in dementia patients.

Success here would lead to widespread interest in applications for persons whose memory is considered healthy to dramatically enhance their memory of far beyond what can be achieved with mnemonic techniques.
