Art de mémoire
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. L'art de mémoire (ars memoriae), appelé aussi méthode des loci, méthode des lieux ou plus récemment palais de la mémoire, est une méthode mnémotechnique pratiquée depuis l'Antiquité; le poète Simonide de Céos en serait l'inventeur. Elle sert principalement à mémoriser de longues listes d'éléments ordonnés. Elle est basée sur le souvenir de lieux déjà bien connus, auxquels on associe par divers moyens les éléments nouveaux que l'on souhaite mémoriser. Art de mémoire, architecture et « palais de la mémoire »[modifier | modifier le code] On conseillait autrefois d'utiliser des endroits existants pour l'usage de l'art de mémoire, par exemple un marché ou une église. Pour mémoriser ensuite un discours, on le découpait en parties, chacune symbolisée par une image saisissante ou par un symbole. Dans la pratique, ces lieux peuvent être utilisés pour mémoriser plusieurs séries ordonnées d'objets. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code]
The Major System Peg Words
One of the really poweful uses of the Major System is as a sort of memory pegboard. As part of your Major System, you create a list of 100 peg words that can then be used as memory hooks to 'hang' anything on. As with virtually all memory work, it works by association. In other words, once you're familiar with your peg words (really familiar, that is!) Oh, and did I mention that the hooks are all numbered? Since you're going to create little mental images (or mental videos) of these things, that's what they should be ... things! I'm giving you a list of 100 memory peg words that conform to the 100 numbers from zero to ninety-nine, but you don't have to use them. How to create good peg words In case you haven't grasped it yet, each peg word is made up of two consonant sounds. You can find countless suggestions for peg words on a really useful site called Pinfruit. head, and playing a lute or some such instrument. Once you settle on the words for your list, write them down and study them.
Solve Puzzles for Science | Foldit
Hi all, I wanted to share some exciting results we've gotten from folding predictions of Foldit designs! As many of you know, after a design puzzle closes we submit a selection of Foldit player designs to the Rosetta@home distributed computing project. Rosetta@home distributes your design sequence to 100,000s of home computers all over the world, so that each computer can calculate a prediction about how that amino acid sequence might fold up. This huge dataset of predicted structures tells us a lot about the weaknesses of a design, making this the most rigorous test available to validate designs before we construct the actual proteins in the lab. The plots below show Rosetta@home datasets from two Foldit monomer design puzzles. The top-most plot represents the top-scoring solution from Puzzle 798, which we ran in October of 2013. The lower three plots represent the three top-scoring* solutions to Puzzle 854, which closed a couple weeks ago.
Remember Any Number With the Major Memory System
Did you ever want to be able to recite pi up to 22,500 decimal digits? As for me, I never felt attracted to that sort of stuff. But remembering phone numbers, passwords, PINs, birthdays and all sorts of everyday numbers — that’s something I resonate with! Meet the Major memory system, one of the most powerful techniques around for memorizing numbers. How the Major Memory System Works Our brains are notoriously poor at memorizing numbers. And that’s what the Major system is about: converting abstract, dull numbers into vivid, striking images. The Major Memory System in 3 Steps 1. The heart of the Major system — and the key to convert numbers to images and vice-versa — is a 10-item mnemonic table. As an example, let’s take the (in)famous number 42. According to the mnemonic table, the digits in the number 42 translate to r and n respectively. 42 gets encoded as rain, then. Decoding from word to number is even more straightforward. There are just a couple more notes to bear in mind: 2. 3. 0.
Holisme
Holisme (du grec ancien ὅλος / hólos signifiant « entier ») est un néologisme forgé en 1926 par l'homme d'État sud-africain Jan Christiaan Smuts pour son ouvrage Holism and Evolution[1]. Selon son auteur, le holisme est « la tendance dans la nature à constituer des ensembles qui sont supérieurs à la somme de leurs parties, au travers de l'évolution créatrice[1] ». Le holisme se définit donc globalement par la pensée qui tend à expliquer un phénomène comme étant un ensemble indivisible, la simple somme de ses parties ne suffisant pas à le définir. Holisme est un terme nouveau introduit dans les années 1920. Au début du XXe siècle, les progrès des sciences physiques et biochimiques ainsi que la théorie darwinienne dessinaient un monde où la frontière entre vivant et inanimé semblait devoir disparaître (contrairement à ce qu'affirmait Kant). Le holisme de J. « Smuts a espéré que le holisme pourrait reconstituer l'unité entre Weltanschauung[6] et science »[7]. En 1977, (en) w:George L. « M.
Remembering Numbers - The Phonetic Number System to Easily Memorize Numbers
Remembering numbers is hard. But if you want to build a great memory, you need a way to memorize them. Fortunately, there is a memory trick you can use for long numbers. It's called the Phonetic Number system (or Major system). It was developed over 300 years ago and is one of the most powerful of the memory systems that use imagination and association. Why is remembering numbers important? If the presentation includes sales figures and statistics, would you rather shuffle through papers or amaze everyone by spitting out the numbers from memory? That's just one example, but if you need to remember passwords, phone extensions, mathematical constants, street addresses, product codes, Bible verses, or anything else numeric, then invest some time learning the Phonetic Number system. Phonetic Number System The Phonetic Number system is a substitute alphabet for changing numbers to letters. Now try memorizing the 30-digit number "8567 13543 887 54365 23678 369".
