Some schools of speedreading claim that people skilled in their techniques can read at speed above 10000 wpm, by memorizing the book eidetically and recalling the page of interest when being examined. Since savants are born this way, it is very hard to understand how they develop and use their skills. Using more senses and getting more focus on specific senses probably enables utilization of more brain power to memorize images. Savants probably get the eidetic memory via strong focus and synesthesia. With practice, the accuracy of details becomes larger and exposure time becomes shorter, until we can get a very detailed account from split-second exposure. The person sits in a dark room and sees a short exposure of a scene of interest and then needs to describe the scene in great detail. There is a way debated in literature of improving photographic memory via so-called “military method”. I personally had such an experience with one old illusionist, who looked at a picture for very little time and then described it in great detail several minutes later. There are accounts of martial artists, savants and illusionists who can generate eidetic memory tests for long periods of time. This “photography” is probably stronger and lasts longer when there is a lot of adrenaline in our blood, so if you could mindfully generate adrenaline rush you could control the eidetic memory much better. Now we can access this photography several seconds or more after the initial exposure and gather details we want to use. When we see something for a short while, it generates a sort of photographic image in our mind. It is important to know about eidetic memory definition. There are blog posts here and here that share similar insights. What I can do is explain how each of us can enjoy a small amount of eidetic memory which is available to each and every one of us. Possibly they address different aspects of short-term visual memory. Some say that eidetic memory does not really exist, while others claim to have eidetic memory.
