This article could probably be much better written. Sorry for that. Feel free to edit it; i just wanted to get something down as there was nothing here on the condition. I'll try to get some journal refrences and see if the researchers who are working on this have come up with a definition that I can adapt to put up here. -- Emesis 14:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So only one case of hyperthymesia has been confirmed. How many more have been anecdotally reported? -Toptomcat 01:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brad Williams

Here is an article from the Wisconsin State Journal about a man in La Crosse with hyperthymestic syndrome. According to this article the definition here on Wikipedia is inaccurate. He apparently has no obsessions or troubles similar to "A.J." He is also apparently now the third confirmed individual in the U.S. The condition has nothing to do with being a savant either as this subject is not handicapped in any way. http://www.madison.com/wsj/mad/top/index.php?ntid=266817 HotOne121 (talk) 01:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Signpost reports that Mr. Williams is the brother of User:Greg Williams, the artist/writer of the WikiWorld cartoon. His rendering of this article appears to use his brother's likeness. --Dhartung | Talk 08:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some more info on CNN from this guy http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/05/07/miraculous.memory/index.html

Neurocase

I could only read the article because my university had an electronic subscription, but I've added some supporting info from Neurocase. It's cited in harvard reference format. --Our Bold Hero 07:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
