‘Frankenstein effect’: Dormant memories can be revived with magnetic pulse to brain, study says

‘Those who struggle to recall even the most recent of memories could one day be able to revive them with a zap of magnetic energy to the brain, according to a new study which sheds further light on the “working memory.”
The notion of working memory has to do with the part of the brain which allows a human being to retain a new piece of information even when their attention is temporarily directed someplace else.
