Season 1
Memory Masters: How Savants Store Information
Where does memory come from? What causes us to remember some things and immediately forget some things? What “filter systems” ensure that we store some things and not others? Do we simply store all sensory impressions, as Prof. Gerhard Roth from the University of Bremen says? And if we save everything, how could we manage to open the secret chambers like a savant?
