Bro you really coming up with some great video ideas that no one is talking about. I’d love to see how visualization works with the new shorter video style.

Albert Einstein said, " Imagination is important than knowledge. " I completely agree with this. I'd love to see how imagination can be used a tool for solving problems ( like in chess or physics and maybe in computer science). Here is a list of points about which I'd like to learn from your video: 1.How to increase the clarity in imagination so that it matches with what you see in the real world ? 2. How to maintain the continuity in imagination so that my imagination can show me a continuous movie instead of static ,random , photographs? 3.How to imagine 3D objects ( spatial imagination) and manipulate them in your mind's eye?(useful for physics) 4.Can you increase the clarity of imagination so much that you can see an entire page in a textbook with all the words clearly enough to be able to read them from your mind's eye?( photographic memory) 5. I asked one of my friends who was good at mental math how he was able to calculate sums and multiplications of large numbers in his head. He said he used to imagine a blackboard/sheet of paper in his head and imagine himself doing calculations on it. I tried this , but failed when it came to remembering larger numbers accurately. Do you have a solution?

That sounds great! Any practical tips on making more visual details stick in memory would be useful

I am so excited just by reading this description, it sounds really interesting!!!

This will be a great video. Sometimes when doing mental math i forgot what result i got and have to recount again. This will help me visualize number better

Yes, I've been practicing visualization for a bit, and it's super useful as a tool and in everyday life.

I've found that spending mental energy trying to visualize what I'm learning prevents me from just "going through the motions" and consequently makes the information stick for longer Definitely great for studying

Yes! I've tried image streaming (although not properly according to Wenger's description of actually speaking aloud and recording it), and it's an interesting exercise. Would love to hear about other techniques and ideas.

Nice idea! Looking forward to this, it would be nice to have an in-depth vid about this!

Visualization is such a key part of so many things yet it doesn't get enough recognition in my opinion. Blindfold chess is a good one, but even looking at longer lines and variations in a game is impossible without half decent visualization. Some other examples I can think of is a Tetris board, inspection on a Rubik's Cube (lookahead too), mental math, or you could even claim that judging the speed of people walking around you in different directions to see if you need to change your trajectory or speed requires estimation and visualization

Fantastic I'm also trying to improve my memory because of how useful detailed memory is.and I think I'm pretty good at visualization already but I could be wrong.

Insanely good topic. It's very relevant as an antagonist to the idea that media and apps have been reducing our ability to focus and hold things in working memory

Its truly a great idea. To me looks like a type of muscular memory where you go start going to a pattern you ve already been estabilishing. And what's is what you said, that we can use it in our advantage ^^

Yes please - it would be great to learn about how you visualize abstract concept and the role in visualization framework you use for competitive programming

The thing is chess players don’t really have better memories and I am talking about actual good players. Sure there’s probably multiple that are actual geniuses with unique cognitive ability but the vast majority of great chess players don’t have an ultra good memory. There has been studies where people put chess pieces in random spots that would not be possible to achieve in game and they asked good chess players to memories the board and compared it to normal people. The results were insanely close. However the chess players were able to memorize real chess positions many times better then the normal person. The take away is that we can train our brains to be very good at specific pattern recognition but being good in one domain does not mean you will be good in another. A persons intelligence generally acts as the baseline when learning something new while practice and work builds upon it allowing less intelligent people suppress intelligent people with enough work.

That's an insanely good idea If you do make this into a video, then it's a must watch for me

Another idea: I'm thinking about mental imagery. Like being able to visualize stuff in your head - how pro chess players can play dozens of games at once blindfolded or, on a lesser scale, how you can maintain an image of certain tasks/problems/ideas in your head without having to write down or draw anything.
This certainly has ties to memory, and improving this skill can likely help you in a lot of ways - for example, improving your capacity for mental visualization allows you to more easily think about complex ideas and not be limited by the space in your own mind.
If I do this, I'll probably try out a shorter video length. I'm getting slightly bored of the format I've been using, and want to try out something new.
What do you think?
