Memory Implant Device

There are two versions of this device: a portable version for use in the field and a larger version in the Department of Fictional Psychology. The hand-held is to be used in conjunction with a neuralyzer in the event that a character's entire history has been erased by the 'fic. Similar in design and operation to a View-Master®, but black and with insertable miniature data discs; instead of showing still frames, it flashes memories directly into the character's brain.

FicPsych's version resembles nothing so much as the conditioning room in A Clockwork Orange. However, the bonds on the chair are only used on the more uncooperative/homicidal characters. Generally, this MID is used to the same purpose as the hand-held with the exception that FicPsych patients tend to be in more severe condition, often needing full Personality Implants. FicPsych's MID may also be calibrated more precisely to deal with characters/species the smaller version can't handle. Once the character is hooked up, the FicPsych employee (usually Dr. Freedenberg himself) removes to a small projection booth at the back, in which is located the computer that controls the process.

The Memory Implant Device is often used to restore the memory of kidnapped characters rescued by Despatch.

The device is taken from the short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" (later adapted as the film Total Recall).
