British Student can recall everyday of his life

London  :  A British student not only remembers what he did, he can tell you what he was wearing, ate and even what the weather was like every day in the past decade, the Daily Mail reported Monday.

Aurelien Hayman is one of only a handful of people in the world with hyperthymesia, or highly superior autobiographical memory.

Pick any day from his teenage years and he can recall every detail of it – while most of us will remember no more than 11 events from each year of our life.

Information about conversations he had, programmes he watched and even songs he heard are all part of Aurelien’s astonishing recall, according to Mail.

While Aurelien describes his early childhood memories as “vague recollections” like everyone else’s, things changed around the age of 11.

“It’s not something that I realised overnight, but when I was 14 I discovered that I was quite good at remembering some things that had happened years before,” the newspaper quoted the 20-year-old as saying.

Only 20 people in the world have been diagnosed with hyperthymesia, and it is believed Aurelien is the only Briton.

However, the English literature student at Durham University insists his remarkable memory does not give him an advantage when it comes to exams or essays.
