lot of big competers there. the in school i have used himries to help me remember science and math. i ve created pneumonic devices and other such things. it has helped me on tests and stuff. apparently, the country likes it as a sport, but i m praying they start looking at the research of the brain. because i ll tell you what, it is far more fascinating now than computers. i m shocked at the beauty of the mental capacity. you can actually train memory. we all know you can improve it, but to see an alex mullen memorizing a deck of cards in h under 17 seconds. alex mullen has burst on to the memory scene over the last kn few years. i felt like i didn t really have a very good memory. i was doing things school and
sound. he translates that sound into a word. the and then places it mentally into a memory palace. yes. for that deck, i used the row house that i used to live in, in my third and fourth year of college in baltimore. for every event i use a handful of different memory palaces. that s one of my speed cards pala palaces i use. i started basically on a street in front of the row house and i see this opened can of jam, so each two cards for me becomes one image. this is like an open can of jam and sport of smearing it on the bumper of a car out front. that was the first image. the next one there s like a little tree in the front yard, so this is like an lec democratic raz electric razor. you re probably looking and saying there s no way i can do that. but memory athletes have always said there s nothing special
memory, should be there. i wanted to try it myself. so we found a physical representation of a memory palace. the swan house here in atlanta, built in 1928, this grand home has been beautifully preserved. you might recognize it from movies like the hunger games. is this a pretty good place for the memory palace. this is the perfect memory palace because it s got so many different things of interest you can attach things to. so let s do presidents. the. okay. sort of in the middle. yup. so what we need to do before we start memorizing is kind of choose our path or kind of things we re going to anchor the images to. so when i walk through these memory palaces i thinks called anchor points or locations. that s where you imagine the image. pieces of furniture, corners of rooms, whatever. we re here at this first location and we re going to start with the 25th president.
allergytry new xyzal®.ou have symptoms like these for relief is as effective at hour 24 as hour one. so be wise all take new xyzal®. in the anet they are lands sits down with cards and memorizes them. he s a top athlete and also a near row scientist. as a field shows us, memory that s used is a memory that stays. if you don t challenge your own memory the risk of getting dementia or diseases increases. he works at the institute in the a the the latest study to understand the brains of memory
forgetting things so i picked up this book called moon walking with instein and that s really what hooked me. i started to practice memorizing kind of silly things like numbers and decks of cards and it kind of just hooked me. it s hard to describe but it became an obsession. i remember when he first started doing this. alex actually had a really bad memory. and i feel like i can say that because i m his wife. alex and his wife kathy are both medical students in jackson, mississippi. they took a year off to focus on memory. allekts became both the u.s. and world memory champion. when he returns to medical school this summer he plans to use these techniques. my ability to come up with that has definitely gotten better. i didn t consider myself to be a really creative person so i was worried about my ability to make associations but it s definitely something with practice you get better at and more creative.
