It is not only in the MA in Conparative Literature that we are attempting to map the ways memory works. Although neuroscientists may not be able to say something particular about how collective and cultural memories function in local and globalised cultures, UCL scientists have published research that claims to make it possible to read personal memories in the brain.
"Professor Eleanor Maguire (UCL Institute of Neurology) and Demis Hassabis have published research which confirms that it may be possible to ‘read’ a person's memories just by looking at brain activity. In a study published today in the journal Current Biology, the researchers show that our memories are recorded in regular patterns, a finding which challenges current scientific thinking."
