How to 'hack' your brain and remember almost anything

have you ever wondered if you could remember anything?....you can find out some tips and tricks in here...c'mon!

Many people complain about having a terrible memory. Shopping lists, friends’ birthdays, statistics for an exam – they just don’t seem to stick in the brain. But memory isn’t as set in stone as you might imagine. With the right technique, you may well be able to remember almost anything at all.

1) Start with strong images

Let’s start with a fairly simple memorization task:

For the Great Wall of China, for example, you might just want to imagine a wall. For Petra, you might instead go for an image of your own pet.

There’s science behind all of this. “Images that are weird, and maybe gross or emotional are sticky,” says Shaw. “When looking at the brain, researchers found that the amygdala – a part of the brain that is important for processing emotion – encourages other parts of the brain to store memories.” That’s why strong emotions make it more likely that memories will stick.

2) Put those images in a location

The next step is to put those strong mental images in a place that you’re really familiar with.

this technique of linking images with places is called the memory palace, and it’s particularly useful for remembering the order of certain elements, says Shaw. “A memory palace capitalizes on your existing memory of a real place. It is a place that you know – usually your home or another location that you know really well.”

3) Pay attention

Remembering seven weird images for the wonders of the world shouldn’t be too hard, but when you’re memorizing 10,000 digits of pi you might need a little more motivation.

4) Break things up

With very large numbers like pi – or a long sequence of cards, for example, it also helps to break things up. Dellis turned each five digit chunk of pi into an image that he could easily remember. “Words are easy, you see a word and it typically evokes some kind of imagery in your mind.

5) Finish up by reviewing

Once you’ve got your images sorted and your memory palace populated, you just need to really make sure that they’re going to stay in your head.
