Indirect visual memory modulation experimental design (A) Participants were presented with two lists of words intermittently presented between pictures which were the actual target for indirect visual memory modulation. A cue was presented to either forget or remember the first list of words. (B) Following encoding, memory strength was tested for the words (direct memory modulation), and the pictures (indirect visual memory modulation). Pictures illustrated are from FIGRIM, a publically available database⁵⁴.

Conditions in which memories become maladaptive have inspired extensive research geared to modulate memory by targeting it directly and explicitly. Given limitations of direct memory modulation, we asked the following: can the target memories be modulated indirectly? To address this question, we uniquely targeted visual memories, and leveraged a pa...

In this paper, we introduce a neighbor embedding framework for manifold alignment. We demonstrate the efficacy of the framework using a manifold-aligned version of the uniform manifold approximation and projection algorithm. We show that our algorithm can learn an aligned manifold that is visually competitive to embedding of the whole dataset.

Objectives:
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of taking Mind Lab Pro, a plant-based nootropic on memory in a group of healthy adults. Auditory, visual, visual working memory, immediate and delayed recall (DR) were assessed.
Methods:
The study employed a pseudo randomised, double blinded, placebo-controlled design. A total of 49 healthy individuals completed the study with 36 in the experimental group and 13 in the control group. Participants ranged between 20 and 68 years with a mean age of 31.4 ± 14.4 years. Pre and post taking either the Mind Lab Pro supplement or placebo for 30 days. All participants completed the Wechsler Memory Scale Fourth UK Edition (WSM-IV UK).
Results:
We found that the experimental group significantly improved in all memory subtests assessed (p < 0.05) whilst the control group only significantly improved in auditory memory and immediate recall (p = 0.004 and p = 0.014 respectively). A significant difference in immediate and DR was also found between the control and experimental group (p = 0.005 and 0.034 respectively).
Conclusion:
The use of Mind Lab Pro for 4 weeks improves memory with the experimental group significantly improving in all sub areas of memory as assessed by the WSM-IV UK.
