  • How do memory athletes store seemingly anything in their brains, how you can benefit from their methods, why it matters and what it teaches us about memory.
    During his studies, Boris Nikolai Konrad managed to do two masters in the time of one and went on, with the insight of a PhD in Psychology, to attain two Guinness world records for memorizing 280 words and 215 names in 15 minutes. Now, as the President of MemoryXL, he believes that anyone can and should stimulate and cultivate their memorization abilities.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    very cool! I usually think of myself as having a poor memory, now I have an opportunity to change this. Thanks!

    This memory technique stuff is fascinating me lately. Loci, linking, major system. Simple visualisation tricks also work such as for Antarctic (big land mass crawling in Ants) vs Arctic (no ants, because of ice-bergs). Stalactites (tights get pulled down the leg) vs Stalagmites (mites crawl up the leg).

    I like this one. I've watched a couple other Ted Talks about memory, and some have done similar things but he explains it, and has an easier method anyone can implement.
    Good to know when you are in school and don't have tons of time and need to remember lots of small details!

    All these bloody TEDx talks on memory are the exact same. "I'm a memory champion but I'm not a super human" > "I bet you think you couldn't memorise this list of words" > introduce memory palace/peg system > "See! You can do it too." > applause > end.

      exactly. You should watch Matias Ribbing's Tedx talk. It is somewhat different, centered around use of memory techniques in learning.

    I'm part of the human experience known as Aphantasia. We can not access voluntary mental imaging. So how do I improve memory with no facility to do as advocated?

    Hi. Does anyone know, (assuming the association technique isn't for all kinds of situation), another method for memorizing syntax and concepts in coding or programming? Thank you. God bless, Proverbs 31
