We tend to think of a memory as if it were a photographs Or maybe even a movie. They feel like a clear, linear, objective record of an event, person or object.

But when you actually observe a human memory in the brain, zoom way into the neurons and truly see a memory as it is being recalled, it is far more abstract and chaotic.

Instead of resembling a photograph or a film, its more like a puzzle. A puzzle where each piece is a tiny sensory fragment; a visual flash, an audio distortion, a brief odor and only when dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of fragments are assembled does the memory begin to make sense. Each memory puzzle is stored in our memory banks as a collection of individual pieces, loosely linked by a neural pattern. When we try and recall that memory, it activates the neural pattern in random sequences. Its like a slide show with no order that our brains can decode. As the the brain reviews these patterns of fragments and pieces in various sequences, it begins to order them and imbue them with meaning and emotion.

At Mnemonicorp, we use complex neuro-imaging technology on our subjects during their recall stage of memory to trace and download all the “puzzle pieces” into a data file. Once the download is complete, our AI translates that data file exactly like the human brain would and outputs multi-sensory information to a Mnemonicorp memory terminal where an observer can see, hear, smell, and feel the memory just as if it were happening to them. Human memory are now just as accessible as a netflix show only 100x more powerful and immersive.
