Handful of individuals are known to possess the skill of near endless memory, which scientists are only now beginning to study.


They are also called "Superior Autobiographical Subjects", also known as piking or hyperthymestic syndrome, is a condition where the affected individual has a superior autobiographical memory.


"Thymesia" comes from the Greek word thymesis, meaning "memory". As first described in a 2006 Neurocase article entitled "A case of unusual autobiographical remembering".


The two defining characteristics of hyperthymesia are:

- 1) the person spends an abnormally large amount of time thinking about his or her personal past.

- 2) the person has an extraordinary capacity to recall specific events from his or her personal past".
