Why are some memories so vivid?
When Memories Come Alive is an interdisciplinary project bringing together scholars in many disciplines to ask new questions, and find new answers, about the human experience of vivid memory.
We are asking as many people as possible to tell us about their memories. Please fill out our survey!
When Memories Come Alive is hosted by the universities of Cambridge and Durham, and funded by the UKRI’s cross research council responsive mode pilot scheme, which supports creative interdisciplinary research.
