Human memory, lack of thereof #psychology #neuroscience

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 05:12:00 +0000

Human memory is overrated, they are weak and fallible. Study shows we tend to think that we will remember something important more than we will. False memory can be implanted in someone's mind extremely easily, something which marketers, politicians, elements with nefarious intentions have been exploiting for centuries and our brain itself can create false memories to cope with trauma.

Then there are numerous memory biases which clout our judgement leading to undesirable consequences for ourselves and for others around us.

In-spite of hard scientific evidence that our memory cannot be trusted, our day-to-day life, stability of the society; especially the legal system is built upon human memory. We need frictionless solutions to improve human memory.

Every single day we make several decisions with varying level of consequences. I would like help to make faster, thorough decisions which has better probability towards favorable outcomes.

Although technology influences several of our decisions, I wonder whether technology is at a stage where I can ask a digital assistant to make a decision for 'What dress should I where today' to 'Which insurance policy should I buy' considering all requisite personal data to make a decision regarding these i.e. Calendar, Health, Finance etc. are already with the Big Data companies; Only difference being the decision should be in my favor instead of an advertiser.

I would like to have a mechanism by which users can check their mental health regularly themselves through a series of standardised tests. This would be very useful for someone with hereditary mental illness and would like to keep a tap on their mental health.

There are numerous occasions by which someone may be at the risk of mental illness apart from hereditary reasons e.g. environment, age, side-effect from infections of implants, accidents, medication etc.

An easily accessible system with which a user can track the progress of their mental health would bring more awareness towards mental health and its treatment. A fitbit for mental health?
