The Amnesia Atlas VR. A photographic media interface as memory-prosthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Amnesia Atlas constitutes a pilot study for a photographic media interface as memory prosthesis. It utilises the wearable lifelogging camera SenseCam to shed light on the importance of photographic imagery and place for memory retrieval. It investigates the relationships of spatiotemporal context on memory encoding and retrieval, utilising immersive 3D visualisation. It is doing so by locating geo-tagged SenseCam image sequences within a virtual representation of the place they were captured at. Using an interactive map as a navigational interface, visitors are able to engage with the imagery in their spatial context, and retrace individual journeys by freely explore this virtual representation. The capacity of a viewer to experience ‘presence’ in relation to a place is known to be beneficial to memory encoding and retrieval, and so is the stimulation with multiple cues. The Amnesia Atlas provides users with a rich audio-visual context to view and interact with SenseCam recordings, and has the potential to be a valuable tool in memory research.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the beneficial effects of widely-prescribed lipid lowering drugs, pitavastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors in cognitive dysfunctions of mice. Intra-cerebroventricular (ICV)-Streptozocin-(STZ)- and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced amnesia served as interoceptive memory models where a...

Introduction: Learning and memory processes result from interaction of neurotransmitter systems in various brain regions such as amygdala and hippocampus. Considering that morphine induces memory impairment, in the current study, we examined the possible role of cholinergic muscarinic receptors of the central amygdala (CeA) on the morphine-induced amnesia in adult male Wistar rats. Methods...
