- The Mnemosyne Project has two aspects:
- * It's a sophisticated free flash-card tool which optimises your
- learning process.
- * It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.
- The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash-card program to
- help you memorise question/answer pairs, but with an important twist:
- it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for a card
- to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly
- will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on
- things you remember well.
- While you use the software, detailed statistics can be kept on your
- learning process. If you want, these logs can be uploaded in a
- transparent and anonymous way to a central server for analysis.
- This data will be valuable to study the behaviour of our memory over a
- very long time period. As an additional benefit, the results will be
- used to improve the scheduling algorithms behind the software even
- further.
