The human brain retrieves memories starting from generalities and then adding detail. This includes visual memories.

Perhaps cameras will work this way in the future?

Interesting. Sometimes mine has some gaps, and will fill in stuff all on its own. LOL

Actually, I posted it because it relates to the "Color Science" topic. Understanding this is part of understanding why we do not generally have strong memories of colors, which was mentioned in comments that were posted in that topic.

Another fairly new piece of information related to this is that "gingivitis" bacteria in your gums seems to be the main cause of Alzheimer's disease. I took care of many of my family's older people for years watching them deteriorate. Ironically, I have good "dental coverage". Now I know that this might help me reduce mental deterioration as I get older. My brain is still "not what it used to be", but I guess it could have been worse by now. Actually, I do find that hard to believe . . . .
