A fascinating article covering a host of topics about memory.
Especially intriguing for me is AJ who remembers every detail of her life, literally. Also mentions the loci method (used in KanjiTown) and compromised of the visual image method already used in Heisig.

That was particuarly haunting at the end, when he gazes at his reflection and sees only "an old man".

Well lets hope those memory drugs mentioned make it onto the market soon!

For an interesting musing on memory, I recommend the novel 『博士の愛した数式』 by 小川洋子.

Great article, thanks. I would have thought this kind of memory would have had more profound changes on AJ's life.
