EIDETIC VISION a/k/a PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY
Eidetic vision, also known as photographic memory, is a rare ability to recall visual information with extraordinary accuracy and detail.
People with eidetic vision can: 1. Remember images with perfect clarity 2. Recall minute details, like colors, shapes, and patterns 3. Visualize and relive memories like snapshots 4. Learn and remember new information quickly.
Here are some remarkable examples of eidetic vision: 1. Stephen Wiltshire: Known as the "Human Camera," Stephen is a British artist with eidetic vision. He can draw entire cityscapes from memory after a brief helicopter ride.
2. Kim Peek: An American megasavant, Kim had an exceptional memory and could recall vast amounts of information, including entire books, sports statistics, and license plates.
3. Daniel Tammet: A mathematician and autistic savant, Daniel holds the European record for reciting the value of pi to 22,514 digits. He claims to see numbers and patterns in his mind like shapes and colors.
4. Marilu Henner: An American actress, Marilu has highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM). She can recall every day of her life since childhood, including conversations, meals, and events.
5. Solomon Shereshevsky: A Russian journalist, Solomon had a highly developed eidetic memory. He could recall entire conversations, articles, and even the tone of voice of the speakers. These individuals demonstrate the remarkable capabilities of eidetic vision, showcasing the incredible potential of the human brain.
Eidetic vision is different from exceptional memory or attention to detail. It is a unique cognitive ability that allows individuals to store and retrieve visual information with remarkable precision.
Some interesting facts about eidetic vision: 1. Only a small percentage of the population has eidetic vision 2. It's more common in children than adults 3. Eidetic vision can be inherited 4. It's not fully understood and is still being researched.
While eidetic vision is an incredible ability, it's essential to note that it's not the same as perfect memory. People with eidetic vision can still forget information or make mistakes, but their visual recall is exceptionally accurate.
