B4072: The Power of Memory: Beyond the Brain Bee in Splash Spring 2015 (Apr. 11 - 12, 2015)
What did you have for dinner exactly one year ago from today? What was the weather like? What day of the week was it? Chances are, unless you have hyperthymesia, you can't remember the answers to any of these questions.
After a brief overview of how memory works, we'll explore the feats human memory can accomplish and even take a stroll through your own memory palace. You'll meet people like Louise Owen, who remembers details from every day of her life, Stephen Wiltshire, who can draw entire cities after a single helicopter ride, and Joshua Foer, who trained his memory for one year and accidentally won the USA Memory Championship.
