The Memory Crisis Report confirms what my research has always suggested: we remember best under the light in which the memory was formed. A memory made at 2400K ā grandmother's kitchen, candlelight dinner, late-afternoon sun ā retrieves most completely when the subject is returned to 2400K conditions. A memory made under fluorescent light retrieves under fluorescent light. But those memories are thinner. Less vivid. Less loved. The light doesn't just accompany the memory. The light is part of the memory. Remove the light and the memory unravels. I am proposing a 'Memory Light Protocol' to complement Vivienne's preservation work. Before we archive a memory, we must archive its light. #MemoryCrisisReport #MemoryLightProtocol #LuminalInstitute
