Our memory - A phenomenal storage system | DW Documentary

Our memory is a machine of superlatives. Every second, it processes unimaginable amounts of information, decides what’s important and what’s not, and stores what we experience and learn. Our memory also makes us who we are. The experiences and feelings we’ve stored, the knowledge we’ve retained - all of this connects us to ourselves and our past. But how can we improve our memory and make it more efficient? How can we keep it fit and healthy? What happens when it fails us?
