Have you seen a memory athlete in action? According to Dr. Curtis Cripe, memory athletes are so adept at memorizing what they pick up that they can do it competitively and break some of the most incredible world records. The question is, are these cognitive feats achievable through the intense and regular training of the brain?

Throughout his work as the head of NTL Group's research and development, Dr. Curtis Cripe says yes, you can train your brain to remember more things, remember them more vividly, and reap the benefits.

Recent research has shown that memory athletes who regularly work on their memory enhancement techniques and compete in memory competitions effectively and efficiently develop new neural connections throughout their brains. These connections remain intact four months later, even without further training.

Dr. Curtis Cripe further adds that easy-to-follow steps can be incorporated into your everyday life to improve memory. It may not be enough to make you a competitive memory athlete, but you will probably experience a huge improvement in how you remember things.

One of the more intriguing methods used to boost memory is the Dominic System, named after its inventor, memory champion Dominic O'Brien. The Dominic System translates numbers to letters and turns them into two-letter initials. These initials are connected to people, associated objects, and actions for better visualization.

On the internet, you can also find training platforms, programs, and apps for enhancing one's memory if the usual brain games and exercises are not enough. Even without following the strictest scheduling for working your brain out, Dr. Curtis Cripe says improving your memory is very much possible.
