The method of improving memory was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and modern scientists say that daily training with it can improve memory skills.
The effects are amazing because it is even possible to double your brain’s memory capacity. The key to success in the form of obtaining what some refer to as super memory is the creation of what is called a memory palace. The effectiveness of this method was recently confirmed in a trial of 51 people. A noticeable improvement in memory performance has been observed in them.

One of the most important aspects of this technology is that we can imagine almost any type of place. Houses, roads and even small communities can be used for this, thanks to which it will be possible to place many memories in one place and associate them with specific objects. In addition, scientists say that if memory is improved in this way, it should last for a relatively long time. They were followed for up to four months after the trial ended.
