Events › Can We Make our Memories Last Longer? (Virtual/Hybrid)

Our memories shape who we are, helping us interpret the present, plan for the future, and understand ourselves. Can we use principles from neuroscience to hold on to the moments that matter? In this talk, Dr. Morgan Barense from the University of Toronto’s Department of Psychology will introduce HippoCamera, a smartphone-based tool designed to help people strengthen their memories by mimicking how the brain naturally encodes and recalls events. We’ll explore how replaying key moments can make them more vivid and lasting, how this influences our sense of time, and why investing in our memories could be the key to a richer, more connected life.
