Chris Hunt: Secrets of a World Memory Champion →

Chris Hunt gave a brilliant talk on memory and how we can improve ours. It’s a long talk, but it’s well worth it. Key take-aways:

• Make the memories surprising or jarring (“…blood all over the place…”)
• Setup a system of recognizable patterns to allow for “compression”
• Be proactive about storing memories
