Forget-me-not is the third Memory Network event, organised in collaboration with the charity that promotes innovation in the United Kingdom, Nesta. The Memory network is a collaborative project by the AHRC, The University of Roehampton (opens in a new window), Durham University (opens in a new window) and the Welcome trust (opens in a new window).

join the Memory Network and Nesta for a breakfast event that explores the state of human memory in the digital age. Besides hearing from an expert group of panelists, you can be part of a memory experiment, which shows how we access, store and dump data. There will also be demonstrations of different approaches to collecting and curating digital artefacts. Does Google really make us stupider, or does it free up our working memory? Who owns knowledge and data? Do we have the right to be forgotten, and to forget? Can digital prosthetics help us fight memory-related health issues, such as dementia and autism?

Speakers include: 

• Hugo Spiers (Lecturer in Neuroscience  at UCL)
• Sebastian Groes ( Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Roehampton and Memory Network Researcher)
• Jon Silas (Lecturer in Neuropsychology at the University of Roehampton), 
• Elad Ben Elul (Founder and Archivist, The Album People)
• Holly Pester, poet working with experimental sound
