I am interested in, among many other things, developing an eidetic memory. I have been reading about autistic savants who have this ability, for example Temple Grandin. And about the various neurological differences and brain connections that seem to be very overdeveloped and probably contribute to the ability to visualize "photorealistically."
It seems that many of the autistics that developed this amazing mental imagery ability may have done so because they developed verbal abilities later than normal, and had to rely on mental imagery for thought more than the average person did in early life.
I came across this thread which was very interesting to me: http://www.longecity...ral-plasticity/
I doubt without reopening this early "critical period" that it would be possible to develop this ability fully later in life. That topic didn't have any replies, so I want to discuss that here. I have tons of ideas for how to develop this ability once sufficient neural plasticity has been established, and I am also interested in other experiments to correct early life emotional development phases while in this state as well.
Thoughts??
