I’ve recently been reading a lot into memory and theories on “how we remember”. Starting with http://joshuafoer.com/moonwalking-with-einstein/ I am becoming a little obsessed with my mind. I’ve just finished reading the fascinating and arguably dubious story of Daniel Tammet the worlds most acclaimed savant and I’ve discovered his TED talk which I have previously not seen.
I just don’t know what to make of him, but synaesthesia certainly came up quite a lot in my studies at Central in relation to text work and imagery in working on poetry. Maybe as a result I was expecting more from this talk… It seems quite flat and boring to me.
Thoughts?
