Ramachandran's Experiments

Ramachandran performed many experiments but the one that I thought was most interesting was the experiment about a man who got in a car accident.  He remembered everything that happened before the accident but now he has short term memory loss.  Every 60 seconds, he forgets everything.  Ramachandran would do experiments like showing him where a pen is but in 60 seconds he would not remember where it was or even who Ramachandran was.
