Memrise is an early stage start up founded by two memory experts, Greg Detre and Ed Cooke. Greg lost his youth in psychology laboratories at Oxford, Harvard and Princeton, where he learned most of what there is to learn about the science of human memory. Ed, meanwhile, spent the last decade or so researching the ancient arts of memory, and in the process taught himself how to learn things like a 1200 digit number in an hour. Ed's a Memory Grandmaster, and routinely ranks in the top ten at the World Memory Championships.
They started Memrise to transform everything they know about the art and science of human memory into beautiful, engaging learning games that help normal people learn quicker, more securely and with greater enjoyment than you'd ever think possible.
