When they put these guys in an fMRI machine, scanned their brains while they were memorizing numbers and people's faces and pictures of snowflakes, they found that the memory champions were lighting up different parts of the brain than everyone else.
Meteram estes tipos na máquina de RMf, e examinaram os cérebros deles, enquanto eles memorizavam números, rostos de pessoas  e imagens de cristais de neve. Repararam que os campeões de memória estavam a utilizar partes do cérebro  diferentes dos outros sujeitos.
