My memory........................
Sounds me that TL is nuts.
I forgot.
Inside the “White Room”
With black curtains?
Near the Station...............
I vividly recall things from when I was a kid, not just major events like birthdays or holidays but mundane stuff too. I even recall lectures from my college days more than 50 years ago. My great aunt had a similar memory even when she was 90.
I’ve forgotten more than I’ll ever remember..................
I’ve forgotten more than I’ll ever remember..................
The first word in the headline is “rare.” Then it goes on to say that this reveals how the brain travels through time. Huh? Generalizing from one case? Doesn’t sound like science to me.
My ex-wife could remember stuff vividly, in "emotional detail", but usually not "with unusual accuracy". LOL
In a way, this is reminiscent of Kurt Vonegut’s Slaughterhouse Five. Billy Pilgrim, the main character, says he is ‘unstuck in time’ and travels back and forth from WWII experiences to present time to the future and his death.
I thought it was an interesting story and a decent movie was made of it.
We all compartmentalize memories to some extent.
Some just do it better than others.
I have vague memories of when I was 4 or 5 years old, but nothing solid.
Once I started school at six, memories increase, and some are vivid.............
Yes, quite similar.
Also similar “The Time Traveler’s Wife”...............

When the author transitioned into TL’s supposed impressions of the future....
Yeah, that’s a red flag right there.
That’s obviously not a memory, and hardly science.
My wife remembers stuff that never happened...............
Wilder Penfield, possibly the greatest neurosurgeon of the 20th century was the first to stimulate the cerebral cortex of patients who were fully awake, with mild electrical currents. Occasionally, these patients would relive events in their lives with all of the sensations they experienced at that time. This suggests that our brains have recorded everything we have ever experienced, but we have no means of replaying those recordings.
My nephew has this ability (or disability). He is an unusual person. Long winded answers when you ask a basic question. Pretty soon you stop asking him questions because he’s so annoying with his long drawn out answers. Succinct will never be an adjective used to describe him.
However, I have miniature version of this “ability”. Life events work like a calendar for me. I think because when I had kids, to keep our activities straight, it was always on a calendar. It’s much more generalized than the examples in the article, but generally helps me remember what was going on at one time or another.
