Technology to delete memories from the human brain.

1. Memory Suppression: Techniques that help individuals suppress traumatic or unwanted memories, often through therapeutic interventions. For example, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories.

2. Drug Interventions: Scientists are exploring drugs like propranolol, a beta-blocker that may dampen the emotional intensity of certain memories by interfering with the brain's memory reconsolidation process.

3. Optogenetics: A cutting-edge field where scientists use light to control cells in living tissue, potentially allowing for the activation or suppression of certain neural circuits associated with memory formation.

4. Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): Although a more drastic measure, ECT has been used to treat severe depression and can sometimes cause memory loss as a side effect, indicating that brain stimulation might alter memories in controlled ways in the future.
