Are you good at remembering things? Can you quickly and easily recall a long list of English words? 

According to a recent study, anyone can improve their memory if they train their brain. Also, scientists say that we can train our brains to become "memory athletes”. Martin Dresler, a neuroscientist, wrote in the journal "Neuron" that about six weeks of brain training can transform individuals with mediocre memories into those with extraordinary memory. 

Dr. Dresler compared the brains of 23 of the top 50 memory champions in the world to the brains of "regular" persons using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI - a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body). He was shocked to find no differences, saying: "We were interested in what distinguishes memory champions from average people, like you and me." This led him to conclude that, with the proper training, anyone can excel and become a memory athlete. Dresler discovered that 40 days of daily 30-minute training applying the memory technique known as mnemonics increased a person's memory capacity by more than twice. Mnemonics is an old method of improving memory, particularly for lists of information
