Mental Abilities

All Ocampa appear to be natural telepaths, able to communicate with members of their species and those of other species, as well. Among the more unusual mental abilities exhibited by the Ocampa were eidetic memory, precognition, telekinesis of varying strength, and the ability to sense and manipulate the subatomic level of matter. Tanis, an Ocampa living on Suspiria`s array, demonstrated to Kes that she could control the life-force in living things, causing them to grow or die as she wished. Tanis also told Kes that the Ocampa could join Suspiria in a subspace layer called Exosia, what he described as a realm of pure thought.

In early 2374, Kes experienced a rapid and uncontrollable blossoming of her mental abilities. Her body and everything around her, including the USS Voyager, began to destabilize at the subatomic level. Kes left the ship and allowed this process to complete itself, apparently evolving into a being of pure energy. She could then move objects through space without need of conventional propulsion, and later exhibited the ability to travel through time.

The development of Ocampa mental abilities remains ambiguous. The Doctor speculates that Kes`s transformation might be the result of exposure to Species 8472`s telepathic influence, but this is not confirmed. There is a similarity between the powers Tanis exhibits in VOY: " Cold Fire" and those Kes has in VOY: " The Gift." One might speculate that the Ocampa are all headed for the same type of transformation as Kes if and when their mental abilities evolve far enough.

Making Mnemonics More Memorable

You can do the following things to make your mnemonics more memorable:

Use positive, pleasant images. The brain often blocks out unpleasant ones
Use vivid, colorful, sense-laden images - these are easier to remember than drab ones
Use all your senses to code information or dress up an image. Remember that your mnemonic can contain sounds, smells, tastes, touch, movements and feelings as well as pictures.
Give your image three dimensions, movement and space to make it more vivid. You can use movement either to maintain the flow of association, or to help you to remember actions.
Exaggerate the size of important parts of the image
Use humor! Funny or peculiar things are easier to remember than normal ones.
Similarly rude rhymes are very difficult to forget!

Eidetic memory

Fred Langa got the term eidetic memory (photographic memory) into our top Alt-Clicks, where it stayed for a few days. A remarkable number of Alt-Clicks from a bi-weekly newsletter. Go Fred!

"Unfortunately for those of us without eidetic memory, the results do not stay on screen for more than a second or two."

Wikipedia Directory > Reference > Wikipedia eidetic memory

Eidetic memory, photographic memory, or total recall, is the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with great accuracy and in seemingly unlimited volume. Eidetic comes from the greek word eidos which means "image."

It is possible that many famous artists and composers, like Claude Monet [1] and Mozart, had eidetic memory. However, it is possible that their memory simply became highly trained in their respective fields of art, as they each devoted large portions of their waking time towards the improvement of their abilities. Such a focus on their individual arts most likely improved the relevant parts of their memory, which may account for their surprising abilities.
