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 Lionel Vogt Alcor member and Mad Scientist ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C1BD29.884EA9D0 Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18643
