I guess it's all about attention. He doesn't care about anything else. So I guess we can all be like him, especially cause when we learn concentrated and relaxed we can remember the position of a word on a page and if we focus hard enough we can even remember entire paragraphs (aproximately, of course). I think this can be trained ... the key is, probably, relaxation. I shall surely give it a relaxed and joyful try :)
whoa, wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf if i could unlock my brain olike that... i'd memorize all my school text books and sleep thru class until exam and just write what i saw in the books xD
I have eidetic memory as well, but it's of course not as extreme. I can just remember where information is situated on a page, stuff like that. It helps with tests I haven't studied for enough.
I'm fifteen and I used to think I had a photographic memory. Now I think I must have a 'recording memory' , if such a thing exists. I have perfect pitch - where you can hear a musical note and instantly name it without seeing the keyboard, so I am great at music - also I can remember almost everything someone says or what I read in a book - however I am rubbish at remembering faces or what people were wearing. Maybe I am just weird. Is there anyone else out there like me?
I have it, but I dunno if it's the exact same. If somebody plays a note I can tune (my timpani in this case) to that exact note (seriously, perfectly). I still haven't bothered to really memorize the pitch of notes, shame on me, but that's very cool, maybe I'll work on that!
he missed the pantheon because it isnt a dome lol. as an artist it seems as thought this feat could easily be accomplished through observation. through memory one could be swayed if the artist knew what the viewers focus would be. but if in fact from memory he could recreate the 3rd street east of the obelisk only then would i be amazed
i would LOVE to see ne1 do better with 1000 pictures of this that is an asshole he TRYS to look down at this man... man... this guy can draw u... and him looking down at u and him standing by the devil with a nuclear bomb and a explosion in the background and you still wouldnt be done with the planet earth at infront of the explosion
What an amazing ability and talent Stephen Wiltshire has - not only to remember perfectly, but to draw just as well, long after a single viewing. I wonder if Stephen is still doing this sort of thing, and whether or not he sells his finished work. I'm sure he could make a great living at just this, alone; his special skills could be marketed many, many ways. Although because he is autistic, I wonder also if he values money. (His friends and relatives must!) What an astounding human being!
Even without photographic memory, he's still great at drawing!
And as for the whole dream debate, well i'm guessing moogmoo's right, cause I remember songs when I dream (not just a bit, I mean every word) and I even sometimes find myself singing them when I wake up.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can do that, all he did was count the columns and the streets, he was in that helicopter for over 30 mins right? Anyone could do this, photographic memory is a hoax, to make people feel special.
Are all people with photographic memories, necessarily good artists? I think even if Derren Brown can memorise the page, he couldn't recreate the font with a pencil precisely now could he?
You are obviously ignorant of the detai he put into that masterpiece. This guy is truly a genuis, Regardless of his memory he is a brilliant artist aswell. I just wonder are these strange abilities becoming more common among humans or are they just being discovered easier. If more peope are getting these incredible abiities right on HUMAN RACE!! Next we should try flying.
We achieve then same thing when we dream. We go to incredibly details places, create intricate worlds, faces, objects - list is endless. We can't reproduce that level of detail when awake. This guy can harness that part of his brain when awake.
Wrong, dreams are just file organization. We can't achieve something we don't have in our brains unless we rewire it. Some people are just born better at certain things than others
no, moogmoo is actually correct. its even possible to reread books whilst dreaming and simultaneously experience real life scenarios attached to each chapter/sentence ect without generalization. for instance i couldn't talk you through the entire run of pulp fiction whilst i was still awake. but when i am in a lucid state of sleep i can run through the entire film with almost perfect precision.
oh my gosh, this poor guy. i read somewhere that forgetting is a mechanism to prevent our brain from overflowing. but it looks in this clip incredible though.
This shows the wonders of the human brain, and what could be done if we we to find some way to break that memory barrier.
Dude if they could isolate what type of brain chemistry/structure is capable of this and allow it to exist without the down sides (autism) we would have our next evolution! I hope they do this sometime in the future, imagine all the scientific progress that could be done!
Humans have messed the world up enough already. If we only use 10% of our brain or whatever it is (which I heavily disagree with) and we've thrown ourselves into some sort of Global Warming crisis etc. then multiply the worlds' problems by 10.
if we used more than 8% of our brains , we'd be prone to seisures and/or even deaths. lol. so i don't think the human race would go anywhere with 10% brain usage
I've heard this sort of thing is more of a curse. It has some good points to it, like this. But imagine just being unable to forget the most minor of things - it'd be like an OCD or something O.o
Personally, I'd rather be normal, but it's your opinion buddy :)
This ability can actually be switched on and off whenever you like. It's not as bad as you think. Unless there's an impairment to his left side of the brain lol then that's a different story.
Intelligence is a factor of 78 which in turn makes objects dispurse at a rapid rate. Therefore the subdivisions, in itself, requires an alternate source or nutrons equal to the sub-atomic particals found in the phrase "I don't know what I am talking about".
Ha ha! It's stuff like this that amuses me. You getting all huffy puffy. BTW, one sentence was all I had time to write, and NOT a summary. LoL. Anyway, +1 for effort. Ha ha!
jerk!! nobody said it was. its about memory ,nobody talked about intelligence here and another thing is to be called intelligent you have to first input informations before treating them.
jbakid,what makes you soo silly? nobody said intelligence was equal to memory but its part of it coz you have to store informations before processing it,stupid!
yeah i babysat an autistic girl for a while. She had some very interesting talents too. i could ask her what the day (of the week) would be on any day of any year (for ex. march 10, 2024) and she would be able to tell me without even stopping to think. Its amazing, what they are capable of. This man for example is amazing with the accuracy of his drawings.
