      Pretty sure he's just got an image in his head that already fits the canvas and he just transcribes it, if that makes sense. Not sure how much he "sees" versus "feels" the image, and it could involve synaesthesia.

      It's not only your talent or your special ability that is important. You also have to have a good portion of luck. Also the right people around you, the right place or city, someone who supports you and discovers your talent. You can see that in sports. Being at the right place at the right time can help a lot and you can go further than an even better player who isn't discovered by any big club.

    I had photographic memory. I could recall again the past scene exactly the way it happened like an object is placed infront of you and you pick that object from that place and even then if you could see that object in your brain than you are having photographic memory.Good memory is related to your good gut health. For this every should add 1 big glass of milk with sugar before breakfast on empty stomach. It will strengthen your gut which will increase memory

    • @CovetAmory
      @CovetAmory 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, that is not true. Increasing memory abilities requires strengthening connections and retrieval pathways. It has nothing to do with what you have for breakfast. Overall health is important, not just gut health. Studying and creating multimodal memories is the best way to learn and remember.
