  All your right brain visualizing is properly called autogenics. For many years now, the most intensive scientific study of autogenics has been done in Eastern Europe and particularly Soviet Union. One thing to come out of this study is that memory visualization works better if you do it to a certain type of music. This may sound like a very long-winded way of saying music helps you relax, but it goes further than that. Unless you are over tired in the beginning, a particular type of music helps you memorize things better.

   

  The key to the effect is tempo. If the music you are listening to plays at 60 beats a minute, it will do the trick. It doesn't have to be classical. It can be pop, new age, jazz, whatever, just so long as the beat is right. Keep away from anything with vocals, which will only distract you. Stringed instruments seem to give the best results.

   

  If you play an instrument yourself, then there is nothing to stop you from recording your own 'memory music'. Just make sure the tempo is at or close to 60 beats a minute. What works in memory music is the rhythm. Using 'memory music' is simplicity itself. Listen to a song of type of memory music you really enjoy. Go ahead play the music, adjust the volume so it's playing pleasantly in the background, then get on with your studies. You don't have to listen or do anything else. The effect on your memory is automatic.
