Anyone with a camera, on the other hand, can use it to capture the moment. Firstly, eidetic memory has been shown to be expressed in children at a higher rate than adults (Hudmon, 2006). Currently, there appear to be a few distinct differences between a person with eidetic memory and a camera. Would this be equivalent to having a controllable eidetic memory?Īfter browsing through PubMed and a few gray literature sites, it seems like technology is developing in such a way that our senses are either being enhanced (like the use of deep brain stimulation for cognitive enhancement) or replicated in machine (like the robot cafe in Japan). After seeing all the cameras in the museum, I thought about how easy it is for someone to take a photo of a moment that they would like to remember. This ability is also called eidetic memory when referring to recalling memories like photographs. People with photographic memory have the ability to recall images from memory after very little exposure. Now that we have high-tech cameras that are able to capture moments in such high detail and quality, it made me think about how similar this device is to a photographic memory. She insightfully pointed out that it may be harder to move past stressful or traumatic events since the vivid memory would always be there. In a previous class discussion, Ashley commented about photographic memory and how it might be negative to never be able to forget anything. In the “Communications” section of the museum, there were a series of display boxes showing different cameras: A photo of me with a display box of cameras at Musée des Arts et Métiers A close-up photo of a display box of some of the cameras featured at the museum. As a huge science nerd, I was excited to see what instruments this museum housed. This past Wednesday, our NBB class visited Musée des Arts et Métiers, an industrial design museum in Paris that houses a variety of scientific instruments and inventions. ![]()
