Here’s a great–and very readable–article in Wired magazine about how your memory works. Part of the article focuses on the work of Piotr Wozniak, a Polish memory researcher (yes, they have those), and his memory software app, Supermemo. The man and the application are brilliant, and the app works unbelievably well, helping you to memorize large amounts of material (such as GRE/SAT vocabulary) with minimal effort and holy-moses-that’s-amazing effectiveness. Unfortunately, the software is unfriendly, byzantine, and downright ugly. Enter Mnemosyne; a kinder, gentler program that does the same thing without the pain, and it’s not only free, but opensource as well!
