Event Report: A Fragranced Memory Palace

摘要

In a sold-out final event in the Brainwave Series focusing on memory, "memory champion," London Times columnist, and Remember, Remember author Ed Cooke took attendees on a mnemonic tour through New York's Rubin Museum. Cooke famously trained journalist Joshua Foer to become the US Memory Champion in less than a year, as documented in Foer's best-selling book Moonwalk-ing with Einstein. Cooke has consistently finished in the top 10 in the World Memory Championships, memorizing 1,000 numbers in an hour, 10 packs of cards in an hour, and a deck of cards in under two minutes.
