The Man with the Seven Second Memory

in #medicine8 years ago

I just found an incredible documentary about a man with amnesia so bad that his memory lasts 7 seconds. What is it like to experience everything for the first time every time? Every time his wife pops into the room it's like he hasn't seen her in 20 years. Yet his mind is still brilliant and he plays the piano amazingly well. This documentary will open your eyes to how the brain and memory really work.

Omg that's insane. Wow I heard about short term memory loss but that's very short.

It's unimaginable

Cool I'll have a look, up vote for the share
