Alzheimer and memory palaces: Kasper Bormans at TEDxLeuven
Ғылым және технология
Kasper Bormans is currently working on his PhD as a member of the Leuven School for Mass Communication Research at the Faculty of Social Sciences (KULeuven). The primary objective of his research project is to enhance memory for familiar faces and to improve the quality of life of persons with Alzheimer's disease and their significant others through innovative communication strategies.
In his TED talk, Kasper will talk about his research concerning Alzheimer's disease, and how powerful research, technology and communication come together and help shape the happiness of patients by having a positive impact on activities of daily living, independency, quality of life and reduced costs for society.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

An excellent talk from Kasper. The concept of the memory palace was very well described here and it never occurred to me that it could be used to help dementia patients. Obviously the (palace) connections/associations would need to be laid down early, before the onset of dementia or perhaps during the very first signs of it. This is worthwhile research and work and I'm very glad that a young man is entering the field and undertaking it. Giving a talk like this to potentially millions of people is utterly nerve wracking and clearly Kasper WAS very nervous. Given also that English is not his home language and that he's a very young man (clearly VERY intelligent too) this was courageous thing to undertake and I admire him greatly. Thank you Kasper.
thanks kasper .. wonderful message.
great! thanks a lot for sharing definitely inspiring
I really appreciate your approach to the issue..............
Quite inspiring with a beautiful message*..also the RIGHT side of the brain differs understand pictures,color and emotions...while the left side uses logic and is anylitical...together using both sides of the brain...can help the patient and or the one you care about*
Thank you for sharing aspects of your research. My Mum is an Alzheimer's / dementia patient. I have been interested in mnemonic techniques for quite a while. However, I have had trouble trying to find the right approach for helping my Mum. I am not sure what stage her illness has reached. Her cognitive awareness can fluctuate between seeming normal and the broken house shown on your video. Anything that helps to slow down the process of this disease is very precious and valuable. Thank you for helping me to see that there might be something that I can do to help my Mum. The three dimensional aspect of the palace is interesting. Where can I purchase a relevant program ? I am inspired and eternally grateful.
good lecture

Regardless of whether you are experiencing an early beginning of Alzheimer’s, basic failure to remember certain things and later on stages of other memory conditions, this program will certainly work remarkably well for you. ==> memoryhealer.tumblr.com/Alzheimer.html Click it, hope it helps

He has no serious idea what memory consists in. Sad.

No. Not on this venue. If you want -- read my most recent paper Klein (2015). What memory is. In WIREs Cognitive Science (inaugural target article). Sorry -- but my answer is far to complex to get audience here.

To Norberg: Don't fret much. Quite unlikely you would understand my paper. Calm down, please. BTW: What is a "spilled" opportunity? Did you drop the glass of chocolate milk mommy gave you -- and that is what really is causing the tears?. Poor dear.

stan klein To Klein: I am fretting and will forever fret because Kasper has no idea what memory consists in, because Mulder asks for an explanation, because I am fretting and Klein is the only one who knows the truth. I must retreat to a beaver den with canned pineapple and stay there until Kasper knows what memory consists in. Yours sincerely, Knowless Norberg
