#memory study

Koreeda's Afterlife reminds us memory in death, a prosthetic post-memory, like a scene in front of us, cherishing it with the feeling of nostalgia (never remembered; never forgotten).

we might not be dead now, but we are unsure about the memories. Collective memory will remain and must remain as part of the history, even though individuals are being hidden behind it (but always will be part of it) our memories that we kept for ourselves are still part of who we are and what we are.

'Spectacular discovery' shows how memories are made in the human brain

In a new study, scientists say they have gained a new understanding of how memories of everyday events are formed in the brain. The study involved 14 people with severe epilepsy who were shown about 100 pictures of celebrities and famous places. The researchers identified individual neurons that fired to a specific person, but not to a place, like the Eiffel Tower, and created composite images of the person at that place. The subjects then were shown the composite images, and the researchers tracked the activity of individual neurons as the patients processed new associations between people and places. The individual neuron that earlier had responded to a celebrity's image, for example, immediately began responding to the Eiffel Tower as well.

This study goes into the heart of the neural code underlying one of the most fundamental aspects of human cognition and memory. … The astonishing finding was that this basic code is so explicit at the level of individual neurons in the human brain.

The hypothesis was that women were better at remembering 'female' words (Such as cooking, make up, barbie) and men were better at remember 'male' words (fishing, hunting, hammer)

I am a tomboy, therefore not girly.  Another friend that took part is as gay as John Barrowman's cock covered in pink glitter.

We both admit to remembering the most words opposite to out actual gender. (She told us which lists were which after the experiment)
