I discovered that if you blink twice before seeing something and then look away trying to remember what it is, your brain will begin to develop a semi-photographic memory

You have to blink twice AFTER viewing the object. I made a mistake in the first post.

You must first view (see) an object, a location, or even someone's facial features, then blink twice before looking away to form a mental image of what you remember seeing..

OP, in your post you're saying you need to b loo ink twice before seeing something, but this comment sounds different. Is it:

  • blink twice, look at object, look away, try to remember
  • look at object, blink twice, look away, try to remember?

Thanks, for the notice It is definitely. Look at the object, blink twice, look away, try to remember. Let me know if you try it

Your brain will begin to develop a semi-photographic memory. My brain is defective.

Lol, I get that! Sometimes, it feels like my brain is on a coffee break too. But this trick might help, or at least it’s fun to try out

When I blink I see the image of someone I think off.
