<ul><li>Working memory: memories that you hold for a short amount of time and then discard right away </li><li>Long term memory: memories that you hold for a long term or life </li><li>Short term memory: memories you hold for a little while maybe a month and then discard </li></ul>

Different Types Of Memories 

Meditation can drasticallly improve memory though there are a lot of things to consider <ul><li>You need to do it for at least 8 weeks for it to occur just like lifting </li><li>Improvements are not obvious to see </li></ul>

Meditation Can Drastically Improve Memory

Cardiovascular exercise is very key increasing memory because if Increases the memory neurons

Exercise Is One Of The Best Way To Increase Memory 

<ol><li>Repitition and Recall: this is the most proven and most effective way to increase memory you strengthen the connections </li><li>Create a heighten emotional state it’s not just about stress but rather creating higher awareness </li></ol>You need to increase adrenaline to learn better there are multiple different ways of doing that

Tools For Increasing Memory 

Taking photos is very effective in increasing memory it could happen via a mental snapshot or an actual device screenshot When we are taking a picture of something we are stamping down a visual memory but we are inhibiting the ability to rembeer the auditory or sound version it didn’t matter whether they look at the photos again or not

Taking Photos Is A Very Understated Way To Increase Memory 

To put it into action you need to increase the amount of emotions you feel immediately after learning something some ways you can do that is as follows <ol><li>Dip your hand in cold water right after learning it </li><li>take an ice bath </li><li>Drink Caffine</li><li>Go out for a hard run or do exercise </li></ol>The main goal of the podcast is that to drastically improve your memory you need to spike Adrenaline after learning

Putting It into Action 

Caffine could have a positive or a negative impact on the effects on learning Dont use Caffine too much while learning it increases your attention but decreases your retention so it is a slippery slope that you would need to be careful about.

The Effects Of Caffine In Learning 

New knowledge or memory is not created by new neurons rather by existing ones firing over and over again. Another way memory is created is through strong activation once and only once called one trial learning it is most associated with negative events

Repetition Does Increase Memory  

Wow, another great podcast. He breaks down how to dramatically improve memory here are the main points 

This episode I explain the mechanisms by which different types of memories are established in our brain and how to leverage the amount and timing of key neurochemicals and hormones, such as adrenaline (aka epinephrine) and cortisol, to improve your learning and memory abilities. I describe multiple science-based protocols to do this, including repetition, caffeine, emotional states, deliberate cold exposure, sleep, meditation, and the role of vision, including taking “mental snapshots.” I also describe how exercise and an associated hormone, osteocalcin, can improve cognitive ability and memory formation. I also describe unique aspects and forms of memory such as photographic memory, extreme facial recognition (aka super recognition), and the phenomenon known as déjà vu.

Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. For more than 20 years, Dr. Huberman has consistently published original research findings and review articles in top-level peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Cell, Neuron, and Current Biology. He is a regular member of several National Institutes of Health review panels and a Fellow of the McKnight Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts. Dr. Huberman regularly consults for technology development companies, professional athletic organizations, and various units of U.S. and Canadian Special Operations.
