Henry Molaison

Mixed media. This project is a conceptual project I worked on in November 2010. The assignment had to do with a man called Henry Molaison who lost his short term memory after some experiments were done on his brain where they removed parts of it because they thought it would make him healthy. He was in his twenties when he had the surgery, and for the rest of his life he lived without being able to store new memory. They continued to do research and do experiments on Henry's brain until he died in 2008 (I think) around 80 years old. As of today they are still researching his brain which was frozen down after his death. A sad yet inspiring story I thought.
