People with eidetic memory
The 10th century monk John of Gorze is speculated to have had eidetic
memory. [ citation needed]
Henri Poincar?? had eidetic memory. [2]
Dr. James William Monroe had the ability then known as Epidetectorial
Memory, only present in one person in every 500. Here, the brain is able to
retain and recall images it has captured for the duration of its functional
ability. When exposed to an arbitrary trigger, the brain can then recall such
images with an astonishing accuracy and presence, albeit stripped of any extraneous
context. A similar phenomenon is known in modern parlance as d??ja vu.
Stephen Wiltshire, MBE, is a prodigious savant [3],
capable of drawing the entire skyline of a city after a single glance [4].
Mozart probably had eidetic memory especially suited for composers.
There is a famous story about Mozart demonstrating his eidetic memory at the
age of 14. At the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week in Rome, Gregorio Allegri`s
Miserere would be performed. The notes to the Miserere
were kept secret under pain of excommunication. On Holy Tuesday, Mozart
and his father attended the Papal Mass at the Sistine Chapel. Upon returning
to their room, Mozart transcribed the memory which had been kept secret for a
century [5]. (This is the popular version of that incident. Other
sources have him at the Vatican not once but twice (see also Allegri). That
would make the event much less a miracle since Mozart was already familiar with
difficult composing techniques at that age. He would have recognized and memorized
the quite simple harmonic and formal patterns of the Miserere at the first performance
and would have used the second one to correct the details.) Othe r musicians
and composers with perfect pitch can be found in Category:People with absolute
pitch.
Kim Peek is a savant with eidetic memory and developmental disabilities,
resulting from congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for
the character of Raymond Babbit, played by Dustin Hoffman, in the movie
Rain Man.
