for the past 2 years I'm following a scientific method which I used to memorize all of my subjects at id address and the best part is this system helps me remember all the information by studying once so in this video we'll talk about one minute method which help me to develop a photographic memory plus we'll talk about simple and easy to apply memory techniques used by memory Champions to memorize impossible information so that you can memorize the first 100 digits of pi so that any student or competitive exam aspirant can use it to become a memory Pro hi by the way if you're new here I'm raguram chandrakumar and I'm Alum of I madas now how to create a memory so good that you can study once and remember forever let me explain how many of you here are hosters who never miss going home on weekends I was one of those guy during my btech so few years back for a weekend I booked a train to home and I was little late on that day but still decided to go to railway station from college by bus and you know local bus is probably not the fastest mode of Transport so there was a tension that I might miss my train and just before 5 minutes of train time the bus approaches the railway station but there is a distance between the railway station entrance and the bus stop and I don't have the time for me to drop at the bus stop and catch the rain so while the bus was going itself I decided to jump off and I jumped dumb why because I didn't consider inertia so I started slipping forward the moment my both feet hits the ground and there was a rod at 45° angle in the direction I'm slipping but luckily I'm able to stop myself inches before it had it I dropped off 5 seconds later then [Music] fast forward to 8 years later I didn't remember what I had in my back I didn't remember what time was my train but I remember every scenes of me jumping off and stopping near the iron Rod why my brain remembers only that because our brain remembers the information that is important for our survival my brain now knows that if I simply jump off I'll most probably die you might ask me Ragu how do I remember if information isn't life or death related luckily just how our brain loves survival information it also likes to store other information using that we are going to develop our photographic memory system before finding out how to develop a photographic memory I want to share something helpful for J main 2025 aspirant if you're preparing for J mains you might face a lot of challenges like backlogs low scores and test and lack of guidance this is where photo Club will helps you photo Club is a community of J Toppers and aspir their team of IIT nit and bit stopper had made a product that is more than a j main test Series where they offer 20 full syllabus mock test most

your turn use the code raguram 20 for 20% scholarship to join photo club now how to develop a photograph memory there are three elements for developing it first element to understand it we need to do a small game I'll ask one question and you have to pause this video not down the answer then watch this video the question is write three best memories of your life I bet all those evens that have written you are remembering it vividly because it makes you feel emotional in some way so first rule make it emotional number two if you look at our ancestors they actually had no need to remember numbers names and all but they had to remember how to get back to home after a 3-day dear hunt because of these survival needs we built a superior Visual and memory system so rule number two make it visual now if you feel this information is awesome then subscribing this channel would be more awesome third element Dr sonan K who is a cognitive psychologist and the professor at University of Melbourne in his research found out that brain remembers information that is of important to us now the question is how brain decides which information is important one of my friend he actually forgots his girlfriend's birthday I just know something bad is going to happen so how the way brain desdes and information important to us based on three factors value relation repetition value how many of you here agrees that our mom is the best doctor in the world I've been personally being hospitalized and being under the care of expert daughters but I never been went to hospital 98% of the time because of my mom not only our mom gave us healthy and nutritious food but most of the time my mom has solutions to symptoms in my body when I have a fever my mom will make some medicine using leaves and gives it to me when I have some stomach pain she will make some soup using some leaves and give it to me and the reason she was able to tell many is she remembers the medical advice the stories of other people what's notable here is my mom doesn't take notes of anything why is it so because for mom taking care of their family health is of prime importance hence her brain knows this information is valuable relation I'm someone who is passionate about self-development career growth so whenever I come across a good information I'll remember it so the second Factor brain understand a particular information is Meaningful is Association third reputation I actually know my credit card details very well be the card number CVV the exper date the reason is credit cards have reward system it will reward you for your spends and based on the type of credit card you can uses reward points for free hotel bookings or buying stuffs for free in flip cart or Amazon so whenever there is an opportunity for me to use my credit card I'll use it because of my repeated inputs whenever I need I remembered it so the third Factor brain understands that an information is important is repetition so rule number three make it important now using these three rules we are going to develop our photographic memory system which hardly takes around 1 minute per information to build it so how to do that the three steps are information translation and representation so it will be like the information goes onto your head then you translate it into the real world and you represent it in real life so how to do that step one grab an index card step two title what you want to remember step three fill the card with information about the subject and make it sound personal even informal if it actually sounds like your textbook passage then actually you have failed step four write your own personal connection once your brain recognize what you wrote is important it sticks also in place of personal connection I wrate examples and if the example is of having more value than a personal emotional incident then then I was able to remember it more step five draw picture this is final thing to remember literally anything you write down by drawing the subject of the note it can't remain abstract the idea is able to be visualized and the representation of the information can stay in your brain now the purpose of this video is to help any competitive exam aspirant to become a pro when it comes to remembering lot of information hence this video is incomplete why SMI bomo I bom alumni gate alang one mechanical he actually finished gate 30 minutes before actual time and for mechanical stream finishing before 30 minutes is very difficult but how he was able to finish it the primary reason is he memorizes most of the calculation one fine example is if you look at mechanical subjects there will be lot of formulas where area will come so instead of every time inputting the values in the calculator to find the area values he memorizes the most frequent area values by doing that he was able to save at least 5 to 10 seconds for each problem so for these and many other aspects the above photographic memory systems appear in practice practical so here are five practical evidence-based memory techniques to become a pro in memory number one I told you in the beginning that for our ancestors there is no need for them to remember numbers rather they need to remember places because of that we biologically have outstanding Visual and spatial memory systems that's why when we see someone after a long time we'll say oh I have seen you somewhere what's your name again so associating what you are trying to remember with the memorable visual image will help you remember better let's take a simple example where you want to remember f is equal to m you can remember by this image which is actually a flying mouse in an airplane so first memory technique is use memorable visual image second let's say you want to remember a number like this how can you do it easily chunking Ching is a technique that involves grouping related information together in chunks so here you can divide this number into two dates 237 1912 113 2024 now you have to memorize only two days so second memory technique is chunking third to understand that we'll take the previous two dates and how how can you remember it more easier stories like I came up with a story 23 is LeBron James so LeBron James just invited 07 Mahendra sing doni and 19 ABD Willers for his son's 12th birthday but his teammate number 11 Kyrie iring for his daughter's thirdd birthday invited 20 male cricketers and 24 female cricketers bang so third memory technique is create a story now fourth to understand that we need to understand our major memory systems scientifically speaking we have two major memory systems one is the walking memory and another one is a longterm memory shortterm memory is like a temporary storage in our BL it holds small amounts of information for a small period for example when you look up at OTP and remember it just long enough to dial it that shortterm memory at work on the other hand think of long-term memory as a store room in your brain where if you keep an information it will be there forever example our mobile number that we repeat in such a way that we'll remember it forever so what is the most effective way to keep information in long-term memory that's where our fourth scientific method comes in eus and German psychologist developed the forting cve with the days in x-axis and memory in y axis he found out that when he first studies an information brain starts forgetting very faster but if we study it after an initial interval the information starts forgetting in a much slower Pace likewise if you keep studying after increased intervals soon it will be in your long-term memory where you will never forget so fourth memory technique space repetition and the fifth memory technique is how many of you here when you revise a subject open the book and start rereading it again wrong wrong scientifically our brain will fool us when we reread but that's actually not true as Richard fman Nobel prize winning physicist mentions the first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool the way brain works is you learn better and remember more when you try to take the information they all became Masters by doing the input and more of the out out of it so instead of rereading the most effective approach for revision is active recall whenever you are revised ing a subject just close the notebook try to recollect the information from your brain and then if you can't able to recollect it then open the book and study it that's the best technique so fifth memory technique active Recall now how many of you here actually feel you are an average student who feels no matter what you can't improve your memory fine I'll ask you a question did you have a girlfriend what what the I didn't and I know one of my friend he's an Ian he had and one day he actually forgots his girlfriend's birthday I just know something bad is going to happen mistake big mistake was eagerly waiting from 11:45 p.m. to expect a call from my friend but till they meet morning 9:00 a.m. he didn't miss it and you know what will happen next so the very next moment he noted her birthday in calendar and from thereafter for every birthday he wishes 10 minutes before 12:00 a.m. on her birthday but I know another guy his name is joser not josepher joser he is worser than my friend in memory you don't believe me he forgots where he placed his room keys he forgots the food he kept in the oven and also he forgots his girlfriend's birth and there is only one thing we say to death not today but joer decides to change in a different way how after few years for one USA memory Championship sets a US record in speed cards event by memorizing a deck of 52 cards in 1 minute 40 seconds and the author of bestselling book Moon walking with Einstein the reason I told this whether you think you have a good memory or not you can actually develop a good memory if you follow right scientific methods so believe but there is one factor that will kill your results in memory no matter how much you try which is sleep deprivation so how to sleep well despite having a heavy schedule and all of this can be rightly planned and executed if you have a scientifically correct daily routine if you want to find out the best scientific daily routine for your competitive exam check out this video but I see the light from away it's down the line maybe I should not give up without fight
