Walking into a familiar room, or seeing a familiar face, or hearing a voice we know well triggers a rush of context, reminding us of who we are in relation to this person or place or object.

"Memories are not simple recordings of isolated events or bits of knowledge; they contain aspects of time and space; for example, when and where something happened, as well as an emotional component that describes how you felt when the memory was formed. "(The Brain, Gary L wenk. Page 5.)

The trigger effect of an object is called a flashbulb memory, it is thought to be the purest of our memories, a memory by trigger comes naturally just like desire, it’s not something you intend to think about, you just think about it, and the beauty of it, is that it can’t be easily corrupted.

Sobre experimentos de implantación de recuerdos: And it is obvious that not everything comes down to implantation or media suggestion; our own imagination plays an important role inducing false autobiographical memories.

Philip Dubois said, there is no memory without an image- and vice versa no image without a memory.

No hay imaginación sin memoria?
