Our environment impacts our mind. “Time, space, and mind are all interconnected in ways that shape our experiences. The physical spaces where events take place are deeply intertwined with how we perceive and remember them. While we encounter new experiences every day, the brain is more likely to retain these moments and store them, much like writing to a hard drive, when they occur in new environments. In other words, experiencing something new in a different physical space helps the brain recognize it as significant and worth remembering.”
