The boy who can't forget a thing: Student can remember what he did, ate, and wore from EVERY day in the last decade:
Wedding and birthdays aside, chance
s are you would not be able to recall exactly what you were doing on any given date in 2006.
But Aurelien Hayman is different.
Not only can he remember what he did, he can tell you what he was wearing, what he ate, what was in the news and even what the weather was like.
The 20-year-old is one of only a handful of people in the world with hyperthymesia, or highly superior autobiographical memory.
Pick any day from his teenage years and he can recall every detail of it – while most of us will remember no more than 11 events from each year of our life.
Information about conversations he had, programmes he watched and even songs he heard are all part of Aurelien’s astonishing recall.
The average person retrieves information such as dates from their long-term memory in the right frontal lobe of the brain.
Aurelien does the same, but his long-term memory capacity is increased because he also uses the left frontal lobe, which normally deals with language, and occipital areas at the back of the brain, normally used for storing pictures.
And all of this seems to happen subconsciously. He said: ‘There’s no method or technique to it. I’m not aware that my memories are being coded.
Gosh that's amazing! What are your thoughts?
