This interesting new brain
study reveals processing differences between Semantic Memory and Episodic Memory in human brains.
Nature performs these functions differently, and there is probably a good reason why that
is so. On the Web we don’t really have an equivalent of Episodic Memory or Semantic Memory yet… but we’re working on it!

Unfortunately, the article doesn’t address one major possible cause of problem: does the process of repeating a day’s events into a tape-recorder change the brain, compared to how it would have remembered them otherwise? For that, you really need someone to shadow the subject but make notes away from their attention, I think.
