Joshua Foer is the a Scientific Journalist.
In his talk he described how he won the a memory contest.
At the beginning he suggested try to imagine your house with some ridiculous things such as the nudists on the bicycles or Britney Spears dancing on the table. He showed us that visual and spatial memories work fine for everybody.
He said that one time once he went to the a memory contest in the US and suprisingly found find the many people who could can incredibly fast memorize hundreds of numbers, faces, and pictures incredibly quickly. He wondered about this and decided to learn/find out know more about this ability.
All the people he asked said told him that theirs memories are is ordinal. They just find the right way to use their brains' abilities.
This technique was used by speakers many thousands of years ago in Greece to memorize theirs speeches.
The main point is to encode the necessary information to the as a visual or sensitive representation. Our brain finds it incredibly easy to memorize spartial and visual information unlike the digital and unsorted information.
He started using these such techniques and 1 year later went to the contenst again and unexpectedly won it.
