The Perfect Memory: The Curious Case of Jill Price

Can you imagine remembering almost every moment in your life, like it just happened? I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning, but Jill Price can remember what she had for breakfast twenty years ago.

Jill explained her experience as difficult because she can’t turn her memory off. It is like memories are always playing back in her brain, making it more difficult for her to concentrate or clear her mind.

This is her incredible story.
