Here is a little idea that I am implimenting for myself and decided to share 
with everyone. 


IThe first part of this is designed to try and refresh memories after your brain
has been repaired. 

I have gone through my own memories and have selected peices of music, 
pictures/video and smells 

that associate directly with each of these memories, that span from my childhood
to within the last year

( the last part will be regularly updated) . As somone mentioned at the Alcor 
meeting, and I agree 100% 

that one of the smells that gets you to early memories.. Crayons.. the smell of 
Crayons bring back allot of memories. 


 The second part is the memory test. This is a test that is not only good for a 
 person to find out how much memory has been lost after cryosuspension. But 
 through a persons life as well. I have a big book 

with several large leaf pages,  I have written 150 questions spanning from early
memories to present day. Most are things like " what was the color of your 
first bike"  "the name of your elementary teacher was"  They progress throught 
the timeline of my life and vary from hard to easy and have of point value 1- 5 
. A question like., " Who was your best friend in elementary school " would rate
a 5 . vs "what is your fathers name" would rate a 1  Possible maximum score 
will vary from person to person depending 
on the memory. 
 

Do not "memorize" the test. write down the question. and leave space for you to 
write an answer.under it 

and place the correct answer at the back of the book. This will allow you to 
compare the answer you wrote to the correct answer when you look at the book in 
20 years. or after you have been reawakend after suspnsion.  you should leave a 
section for updates to add questions/answers every 10 years or so 


Just somthing to consider
