# REMory

> REMory helps students remember what they studied. It uses Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) — a sleep-based memory consolidation technique with 19 years of peer-reviewed research — to consolidate study material during sleep, so it's still there on exam day.

## What REMory does

Students preparing for high-stakes exams forget specific rules, formulas, and details within 3-4 days of studying them. This isn't a discipline problem; it's how memory consolidation works without reinforcement.

REMory addresses this by pairing study material with a scent during waking hours, then re-introducing that scent during slow-wave sleep. The brain's natural overnight consolidation process is redirected toward the cued material. Students wake up retaining significantly more of what they studied.

A seven-night protocol per topic produces measurable retention gains. Students inhale the scent before the exam to trigger retrieval of consolidated material.

## Who REMory is for

Candidates preparing for professional licensing exams where recall accuracy under time pressure determines outcomes:

- **CPA Canada CFE** — particularly Taxation, Financial Reporting, and Management Accounting, where rule-level detail decays fastest
- **CFA Levels I and II** — particularly Fixed Income and FRA
- **MCAT** — particularly Biochemistry pathways and Physiology
- **LSAT** — particularly Logic Games rule clusters

The product is also relevant for medical residents, law students, aviation candidates, and other high-stakes recall-dependent fields.

## The science

Targeted Memory Reactivation was first published in 2007 (Rasch et al., University of Lübeck, *Science*). It has been independently replicated across more than a dozen studies through 2024, including work from Northwestern University, MIT, the University of New Mexico, and others.

Reported effect sizes on declarative memory tasks range from 8% to 48% improvement, with the largest gains observed in real-classroom and real-exam settings rather than abstract laboratory tasks.

Until 2026, the technique was confined to sleep laboratories. REMory is the first consumer product to make TMR accessible outside a research setting.

## Why REMory exists

Existing study tools (flashcards, spaced repetition, re-reading) all require active cognitive effort during waking hours. REMory works during the eight hours students are already asleep — addressing the consolidation phase of memory rather than the encoding or retrieval phase.

It is complementary to, not a replacement for, active study methods like Anki or practice cases.
