You get to keep one memory from your personal past. This is the provocative premise from which Chris McCarroll (National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University) begins his post at The Memory Palace today. A great read!

The Memory Palace @philmemopalace.bsky.social · Apr 29

If you could hold on to just a single memory, just one episode from your personal past, what would it be? Today at the Memory Palace, Chris McCarroll investigates this exciting question about personal memory. A highly recommended reading!

Bochum has a reputation for being grey and dull (due to the coal and steel industry), but in fact it is far from it. Currently the cherry blossoms are in bloom and by June greenery will abound.

Sleep supports stabilization of explicit, declarative memory and benefits implicit, procedural memory. In addition, sleep may change the quality of memory representations. Explicit and implicit learni...
