Many ask about the function of episodic memory. But what's the point of episodic memory? We can learn interesting things about this capacity if we ask what we do with it, rather than just why we have it in the first place. Julian Bacharach (Trinity Dublin) explores this at The Palace today.
Traumatic memories often make the past overshadow the present. How much of this influence is due to memory? Judith Carlisle (Tennessee) is at The Memory Palace today with an intriguing discussion of this question. Check it out!

Does phenomenology have a role to play in investigating memory, or should philosophical inquires be focused on metaphysical and empirical features of this capacity? Sofia Pedrini (Bochum) is at the Palace today, defending the relevance and significance of memory phenomenology.

Memory technologies have freed up human memory to care about more than accuracy- and the same might be true for other animals. Hamish Linehan (Stirling) and Matthew Sims (Macquarie) explore this intriguing idea at The Memory Palace today.

Think back on a time when you fantasized about a crush. Such idealization, and the later realization (and disappointment), illustrates the importance of phenomenology for investigating memory. Sofia Pedrini (Bochum) discusses such cases at the Memory Palace today - enjoy!
