Can You Beat Ayumu?

Do you have photographic memory! Compare yourself to the world champion: Ayumu.

Ayumu is a chimpanzee living at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University.

Ayumu participated in a series of short-term memory tasks using a touch-sensitive computer screen. This app recreates one of those tasks. Ayumu's performance on this task was superior to that of comparably trained university students.

The faculty that this app tests for is called 'eidetic memory' and is believed to occur in a small number of children and is quite rare in adults.

Perhaps you have this very rare ability? You can test yourself with this app. Ayumu attains level 10 of this game repeatedly and with ease (just google for 'Ayumu chimpanzee' to find many video examples). We start you at level 3 and work up gradually to level 10.

Note especially: No advertisements in this game! No data about you collected!
