Lecture 2: Research methods to study memory

Memory in modern days

There are three mainstream approaches to memory research:

1. Collect clinical cases which show memory deficits.
2. Directly manipulate the brain from an animal model, and observe what happens to animal behaviour.
3. Neuroimaging, which is a non-invasive method suitable for human subjects.

After that, we will also introduce a famous case in medical history, who had a problem with memory caused by some accident.
