Abstract
In a world of ephemeral moments, our brain diligently sieves through a cascade of experiences, like a skilled gold prospector searching for precious nuggets amidst the river's relentless flow. This study delves into the elusive "moment of memorability"---a fleeting, yet vital instant where experiences are prioritised for consolidation in our memory. By transforming subjects' encoding phase electroencephalography (EEG) signals into the visual domain using scaleograms and leveraging deep learning techniques, we investigate the neural signatures that underpin this moment, with the aim of predicting subject-specific recognition of video. Our findings not only support the involvement of theta band (4-8Hz) oscillations over the right temporal lobe in the encoding of declarative memory, but also support the existence of a distinct moment of memorability, akin to the gold nuggets that define our personal river of experiences.
