Art of Memory (mnemonics) Creating your Memory List of 100. Creating your 100 character Memory List is vital, since you’ll be using this list extensively, and ‘living with’ these characters for years to come.
The 100 List is a cast of characters who will represent each one of the two-digit numbers, i.e. the numbers from 00 to 99. Not only will this give those hundred numbers a ‘face’, but it will make it possible for you to link groups of numbers in such a way that you can ‘see’ them in your mind’s eye. The method is simple: for each pair of digits there is a character involved and a unique action, so the first two digits determine the character, and the next two determine what action that character is performing.
In this way you can build up a scene using memory characters (or cast members, if you like), doing each other’s actions and involving each other in various ways. It might sound complicated at first glance, but it’s straightforward really. Unique actions (or props) Acht manieren om je geheugen te verbeteren. Je brein is als een spier.
Human Memory - Online Memory Improvement Course. Research in memory psychology shows that it is possible to improve your memory performance in specific areas by applying memory techniques.
The first such work is considered to be the Chandra-vakyani of Vararuci, who is traditionally assigned to the fourth century CE. Therefore, sometime in the early first millennium is a reasonable estimate for the origin of the Kaṭapayādi system. Aryabhata, in his treatise Ārya·bhaṭīya, is known to have used a similar, more complex system to represent astronomical numbers. Geographical spread of the use Almost all evidences of the use of Ka-ṭa-pa-yā-di system is from south India, especially Kerala.
Mnemonic major system. The Major System (also called the phonetic number system, phonetic mnemonic system, or Herigone's mnemonic system) is a mnemonic technique used to aid in memorizing numbers.
The system works by converting numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels. The system works on the principle that images can be remembered more easily than numbers. The system Each numeral is associated with one or more consonants. Vowels and the consonants w, h, and y are ignored. Mnemonic peg system. A Peg system is a technique for memorizing lists.
It works by pre-memorizing a list of words that are easy to associate with the numbers they represent (1 to 10, 1-100, 1-1000, etc.). Those objects form the "pegs" of the system. Memory. Neuroscientists reveal how the brain can enhance connections. When the brain forms memories or learns a new task, it encodes the new information by tuning connections between neurons.
MIT neuroscientists have discovered a novel mechanism that contributes to the strengthening of these connections, also called synapses. At each synapse, a presynaptic neuron sends chemical signals to one or more postsynaptic receiving cells. In most previous studies of how these connections evolve, scientists have focused on the role of the postsynaptic neurons. However, the MIT team has found that presynaptic neurons also influence connection strength. "This mechanism that we've uncovered on the presynaptic side adds to a toolkit that we have for understanding how synapses can change," says Troy Littleton, a professor in the departments of Biology and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, a member of MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, and the senior author of the study, which appears in the Nov. 18 issue of Neuron. Rewiring the brain Synaptic growth. Judy Willis: What does neuroscience research say about motivation and the brain?

Understanding how the brain turns sensory data into memory and understanding is illuminated by neuroscience research. How to Memorize Things Quickly. People like to joke that the only thing you really “learn” in school is how to memorize.
As it turns out, that’s not even the case for most of us. If you go around the room and ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly, most of them will probably tell you repetition. That is so far from the truth, it’s running for office. If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly, repetition won’t cut it; however, recalling something will. The problem is that recalling something requires learning, and we all learn in different ways. Before we start, you need to establish something: are you an auditory, visual, or experiential learner? Step 1: Preparation To optimize your memorization session, pay close attention to which environment you choose. Next, start drinking some tea. As we get older, toxic chemicals will damage our neurons and synapses, leading to memory loss and even Alzheimer’s. Step 2: Record What You’re Memorizing Step 3: Write Everything Down.
How to Rewire Your Brain for Success. The most recent edition of The New Yorker magazine contains an article about neuroscientists who study the way the brain retrieves memories.
Memory. Memory. Research findings shed light on brain's storage capacity and how memories are kept separate. Researchers have long wondered if there is an upper limit to our capacity to store memories and how we manage to remember so many events without mixing up events that are very similar. To explore this issue, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Centre for Neural Computation and colleagues from the Czech Republic and Italy tested the ability of rats to remember a number of distinct but similar locations. Their findings are published in the 8 December edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The brain creates and stores memories in small networks of brain cells, with the memories of events and places stored in a structure called the hippocampus. Repetition Doesn’t Work: Better Ways to Train Your Memory. How the massive influx of tourists impacted prostitution, which is technically legal, in the South American country. In 1920, to prepare for King Albert of Belgium’s visit to Rio de Janeiro, local officials engaged in an extralegal campaign to improve the city’s “moral hygiene.”
Police rounded up all the lower-class prostitutes, cuffed them, and relocated them to the “Mangue”—or downtown marsh district, thereby forming Rio’s very first red light district. Further cleansing occurred in 1967, when police erected walls around the prostitution zone to shield it from the delicate gaze of Queen Elizabeth II in advance of her state visit the following year. The police crackdown on crime also extended to prostitution in order to, as the district attorney stated, “contribute to changing [Rio’s] soiled image.”
Thousands of sex websites were reportedly targeted, and Brazil’s leftist president, Dilma Rousseff, took to Twitter to denounce “sexual tourism” during the World Cup. Hack Your Memory: 3 Basic Tricks to Remember Anything. A few years ago my wife and I went on a two-week trek through Italy. Our final stop was Positano, a sleepy coastal town on the Amalfi Coast, and we read voraciously in the sun for days. It was fantastic. It was during this time that I read Mind Performance Hacks by Ron Hale-Evans (the picture is proof – that’s my 2006 self on a deck in Positano, with my then new glasses and a glass of Italian wine, reading this book.
