Teach me how to develop eidetic memory

Well not with that attitude at least

It's a hardware limitation not a software limitation. You can't do it.
Even if it was a software thing, I doubt it's possible to effectively jailbreak your brain, and that's pretty much the only way you'd get where you want to be.

Well with that kind of thinking of course it's going to be impossible

why do some people do it then? if its a hardware problem, people with eidetic memory would be geniuses but theyre not.

It's called filtering information into an easy way for your brain to retrieve and digest require shit like a memory house technique and mnemonics. There's no such fucking thing as a photographic memory just a bunch of memory magician memes. Hardware only lets you do this: ted.com/talks/arthur_benjamin_does_mathemagic/up-next

Not memory shit, because that only depends on how good you chew your brain information for it to digest.

>ted
I thought these were word-filtered

>Mfw I have eidetic memory

No one talked about photographic memory. Eidetic memory does exist.

Describe it.

Then how come I have eidetic memory while I dream?
Checkmate moran.

The only people that display legitimate eidetic memory do it for a short while as children, and savants.
Anything else is either just a good mnemonic system masked by trickery. Even then, it's not entirely accurate or without its downsides.

When people talk about photographic memory they mean eidetic. That word refers to that idea. 'photographic memory' also can refer to a thing that doesn't happen, but why distinguish between real and fake photographic memory when all you have to do is not be a pedant.

But then he said that eidetic memory does not exist, which is false.
I don't believe that only mutant autismos have it.

I'll give you an example. When I read something and stop I can see the text inside my head. I know where is which sentence and so on.

So cool.
When I study some math book I remember vaguely layout and position of the text and formulas on the page but I cannot make out he details.

OD on noots, and practice mnemonic techniques

false memora

build a mind palace, read dominic o'brien and fuck off

That's not eidetic memory, I am already familiar with the techniques of O'Brian and his books.

Yes but a lot of accurate memories as well.

Yeah it's helpful when you're learning but I'm lazy fuck.

Do you have this since childhood?

Train your brain into a database. Then just query shit you want to use.

I have frequent lucid dreams without doing any training, doesn't help the memory.
Trying to stay lucid during the entire day (shutting off autopilot) might be an idea. Try to control your breath for an entire day

>I have frequent lucid dreams without doing any training, doesn't help the memory.
Have you ever tried playing some music you already heard in real life?
It sounds exactly the same.

Then, just before waking up this morning I could see crispy clear with my eyes closed (eidetic imagery).
Try to understand my point.

>Then, just before waking up this morning I could see crispy clear with my eyes closed (eidetic imagery).
Once, when I was really tired, I closed my eyes, and saw these high-res images of random people and scenarios. Each one lasted 1-2 seconds at best, for a total of a couple minutes.

They weren't static images, to be clear, they were moving and shit. Wish I could control this ability and use it to imagine a black board or something, so that I could write out equations in my mind.

That's what these photographic memory geniuses motherfuckers do user, and it's a latent ability we all have.
We need to crack this.

Shit I'm gonna start meditating and I'll try to concentrate on seeing images with my eyes closed. See y'all in 6 months when I'll have my 8 nobel prizes.

I agree with and am interested in this.

People's brains aren't 'hardwired' ... if that were the case, then stupid people's brains are 'hardwired' for stupidity which is not the case - they just aren't interested in furthering themselves so their minds get lazy. You can always teach a stupid person, they just need to want to be taught.

That said, I think its just down to practice. The brain is like a muscle - the more you work it out the easier it gets to retrieve information.

Yes. As long as I can remember.

Can you memorize like a whole book and how much time does it take you?

I believe this as well.
If one is dead set on rote memorizing all day long he will hallucinate the material at some point.

I have "eidetic" memory.
But I have to really focus and willingly remember something, and it's not like , maybe cause I don't read often enough to notice that. But if I watch a movie; give me some time to organize and focus, and I can describe "every" scene, not every frame obviously but I can spend 5 min going over everything that happened pretty accurately.

My episodic/long-term memory is insanely good though.

You can train short-term memory by looking at something then trying to just remember the things you just looked at.
This can train you brain not to remember more, but just to remember stuff at all, you might just not remember as much as you should cause you're not actually trying, the more I try the more I remember at least.
>look at table of food
>close eyes and name everything you see.

When I close my eyes after looking at something, it's not like a I see everything as if it was a photo on my phone.
More like PIC RELATED.
I can make out/point out everything, it's just very unfocused.

It's weird, but look into some of the "magic" books. Franz Bardon was someone who got me started.

Despite some of the hokey explanations for phenomena, they really can teach you how to unlock latent abilities (This type of memory being one of the types) and train your self to use them.

IMO, they were describing observable phenomena in the terms known to them.

>fry my brain on Adderall

So in exchange for being a savant, the creator gave you debilitating autism.

>8

>I have "eidetic" memory.
I've read your post and I'm sorry but you don't.
I went to the store two hours ago and starting from the moment I went out to the moment I came home I can even tell about the thoughts I had and where.
Not all of them but what I'm saying is that yours is not eidetic at all.

This is an example of eidetic memory induced by drugs.

>I went to the store two hours ago and starting from the moment I went out to the moment I came home I can even tell about the thoughts I had and where.
That's literally what I said I could do.
>But if I watch a movie; give me some time to organize and focus, and I can describe "every" scene, not every frame obviously but I can spend 5 min going over everything that happened pretty accurately.
>My episodic/long-term memory is insanely good though.

I was even tested as a teen by a psychologist and told my memory is on gifted levels.
I had to look at a couple of figures full of lines dots and circles, then made to copy it, and made three pretty much identical copies in the course of an hour.
I didn't just have above average memory, the only words they could use was eidetic and photographic, even if those terms aren't real.

fuck off single headed pleb I'm not sharing my secrets

>That's literally what I said I could do.
But I don't have an eidetic memory!
>I didn't just have above average memory, the only words they could use was eidetic and photographic, even if those terms aren't real.
Well, if your doctor said that you have actual eidetic memory, then I could believe it.
Your ability does not sound impressive though.
Being able on the other hand to access unfiltered images or auditory information is something else.

Then you maybe missed how I can describe every scene of a movie?
If I think/focus I can have whole scenes play like a medium quality webm in my mind.
I'm not writer so this isn't very detailed but nor do I have time to write down trivia or stuff, the movie is pretty grey.

I watched Dunkirk recently.

In my mind I see all these scenes clearer than what's said here, sure they're pretty foggy, could do more detail.
>Yet I'm terrible at remembering sound/names/vocals.
Dunkirk 10/10 movie.

Not a whole book but I remember 65 - 80% of the material covered in book. When I'm really interested maybe even 85%.

Of course.

Nice.

wait wait wait. nightmares are false anyways. who cares if u have a nightmare coz its not real!

I think it would be understandable if he had seen his mother die in real life and he would relive it again and again in his nightmares, but if he's just having some generic "scary" nightmares, then he's a pussy.

Remembering dreams might be a good practice for the memory.

Also, if you can somehow attach emotional/functional significance to the things you are trying remember, it might help.

I wonder if you approach it like Sherlock Holmes looking for clues or like a religious prophet looking for signs (everything is potentially significant), you might remember shit better.
