My guest today is Ben Whately, a serial entrepreneur and education innovator. While studying Experimental Psychology at Oxford, Ben became fascinated by the ways that our brains learn. After graduating, he moved to Qiqihaer, a remote city in northern China. He is a memory expert and Memrise co-founder.

The topic is memory.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Memory, a composite of previously formed memories
• How memories are encoded in the brain
• To the brain, remembering equals imagining
• How the most effective way to teach is to be entertaining
• Technology, and how it affects our views on memory
