0:00Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health, physical health, and performance.

0:11I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.

0:17Today we are discussing memory, in particular, how to improve your memory.

0:21We are constantly being bombarded with physical stimuli, patterns of touch on our skin, light to our eyes, light to our skin for that matter, smells, tastes, and sound waves.

0:32Each one of and all of those sensory stimuli are converted into electricity and chemical signals by your so-called nervous system, your brain, your spinal cord, and all their connections with the organs of the body and all the connections of your organs of the body back to your brain and spinal cord.

0:47For instance, if you can hear me speaking right now, you are perceiving my voice, but you are also, most likely, neglecting the feeling of the contact of your skin with whichever surface you happen to be sitting or standing on.

0:59It is only by perceiving a subset, a small fraction of the sensory events in our environment, that we can make sense of the world around us.
