Precedents

During Investigation I, I found the recollection of memories particularly interesting in my research; I explored theories and methods in which people tried to store their memories digitally, allowing an individual to save their memories forever. Researchers at Purdue University, for example, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which measures brain activity through detecting changes in blood flow to the brain and is typically the most reliable and functional method of decoding brains, to examine and produce visual processing areas. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon attempted to take this a step further by analyzing more complex thoughts also using fMRI. With my project, I was trying to address the same issue of storing memories of less complexity and with the help of outside tools, such as a recorder.
