A non-invasive method for storing, editing, deleting, appending, and retrieving infinite quantities of audio, visual or tactile data from targeted neuronal groups in the human brain. The process involves transmitting sequenced, buffered, and indexed data streams to human sensory receptors. Each data stream contains an ordinal or cardinal position that identifies a targeted group of neurons. Linear data streams may be stacked vertically and then transmitted to manufacture complete thoughts. Both linear and stacked data streams create artificial memory constructs. The manufactured memories appear older than they are because of the indexed and undated artificial mnemonic environmental variables embedded in the data stream. This method further creates a genius complex in some individuals whereby implanted memories are recalled quickly and precisely using a sequenced query that specifies the neuronal group. In stark contrast, the brain indexes naturally occurring memories with non-indexed and unknown variables randomly selected by the human senses.
