We want to empower everyone to harness their full memory capacity.
We want to empower everyone to harness their full memory capacity.
WE
. . . are an international team of researchers in Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Human-Computer Interaction.
. . . combine basic research on human memory with applied neuroscience.
...lay the empirical foundation to help everyone improve their memory skills and maintain their memory function throughout old age.
How does it work?
Training in mnemonic techniques can increase human memory performance by a factor greater than ten. For example, memory athletes at the World Memory Championships memorize more than 130 historical facts including dates in just 5 minutes - without innate capabilities, but with memory skills acquired through training in mnemonic techniques.
Using Machine Learning to supercharge human learning
Unsere geplante, KI-basierte Plattform soll es Forschenden ermöglichen, Gedächtnistrainingsexperimente in den Tagesablauf von Lernenden zu integrieren und Langzeitstudien unter kontrollierter Messung des Lernprozesses durchzuführen. Die Forschungssoftware soll mit neuroadaptiven Technologien kompatibel sein. Dank Künstlicher Intelligenz soll sich die geplante Software dem Lernfortschritt und den individuellen Lernvoraussetzungen der Lernenden anpassen und den Trainingsprozess optimieren.

our principles
Open Science
–
We make all components of the scientific process openly accessible, comprehensible and usable. Because we are convinced that open participation and transparency in knowledge transfer are necessary to improve our society.
Science Communication
–
Only if people understand our research can they use it to improve their everyday lives. This is why accessible communication of our research findings on our website is important to us.
Educational Equity
–
Our planned memory training technology will be made freely available to all learners. This is the only way to empower everyone to reach their full memory potential to succeed in school and everyday life.
