00:00There's a very rare and very interesting condition called hyperthymesia.
00:04It may be related to some differences in brain structure that occur in very exceptional cases in some individuals.
00:11One of these individuals was studied by scientists in France recently.
00:16And it shows that what this condition allows is a kind of metaphorical time travel.
00:23Because it gives a person very precise autobiographical memories.
00:27Now, this doesn't mean that the person involved can remember everything or can remember facts and figures.
00:34Instead, it's just about things that have happened to them.
00:37But they can remember everything in such startling, intense detail that it can actually cause problems for them.
00:43Because traumatic experiences are sort of always stuck in their head.
00:47Well, this is a very interesting case.
00:50And it's one of those articles that has caused a lot of interest.
00:54And I encourage you to take a look at it.
