Teen with 'extraordinary' mental time travel abilities described in new case study
In a case study, researchers described the "extraordinary" case of a 17-year-old girl with autobiographical hypermnesia who had mental time travel abilities. "In these individuals, known as hyperthymesics, memories are carefully indexed by date," a researcher said. The teen, who relived memories with "exceptional intensity", could travel to the past and imagined futures, the researchers stated.
