Today’s theme: Memory & Mind training

Once upon a time, memory was the root of all our culture from cave paintings and beyond.

Thanks to technology, memory is now run as computer simulations and new fields have arisen: the combination of cognitive psychology and neuroscience giving rise to cognitive neuroscience. This will no doubt lead to even greater understandings of how our brain works and give us windows into ourselves - but can you remember what Simonides’ job was? Or where he was from? Or even what century he gave birth to memory?
