Human memory.
What can elite memory performances tell us about human capacity? Explore the speed limits of skilled memorisation, then distinguish those findings from questions about everyday learning.
Keynotes on memory & learning
Your brain has limits. Use them well.
Talks with Bastian Wiederhold, German Memory Champion and neuroscientist at LMU Munich. My research on memory speed and human information processing provides a starting point; competition experience and practical examples make the ideas tangible.

How fast can we really think?
In flash mental arithmetic, the best competitors can add 30 three-digit numbers in under four seconds. My research on mental calculation uses measurable performances to question proposed limits on human information processing—and asks what those numbers actually mean.

From competition to education.
What transfers from memorising at speed to learning a subject? Explore how techniques can work with material that needs to be understood and applied.
For organisers
A talk shaped around your audience.
A talk could start with a live memory demonstration, the 30-number calculation example, or a practical question about learning. Tell me:
- Event date and audience
- Preferred language and available time
- Location or online format
I’ll reply to discuss the topic, format and scope before you decide.
