Of greater interst than just being able to see things one would otherwise
miss, was the fact that sometimes the
effect would cause one to remember certain things much better.
The author found, for example, that faces would be remembered
much better with this freeze-frame effect.
Often the frozen image would linger in visual memory much longer than
the moving one. There is current evidence to support the existance
of a visual memory[21], so it became apparent that
one could build a `visual memory prosthetic'.
