Behind the Scenes of Cutting-Edge Memory Research When Sue
Halpern decided to emulate the and#64257;rst modern scientist of
memory, Hermann Ebbinghaus, who experimented on himself, she had no
idea that after a day of radioactive testing, her brain would
become so "hot" that leaving through the front door of the lab
would trigger the alarm. This was not the and#64257;rst time while
researching "Can''t Remember What I Forgot "that Halpern had her
head examined, nor would it be the last. Like many of us who have
had a relative or friend succumb to memory loss, who are getting
older, and who are hearing statistics about our own chances of
falling victim to dementia, Halpern wanted to and#64257;nd out what
the experts really knew, how close science is to a cure, to
treatment, to accurate early diagnosis, and, of course, whether the
crossword puzzles, sudokus, and ballroom dancing we''ve been told to
take up can really keep us lucid or if they''re just something to do
before the inevitable overtakes us. Sharply observed and deeply
informed, "Can''t Remember What I Forgot" is a book full of vital
information and a solid dose of hope.
