A brain mapping in recalling long term memories consolidated by mnemonics called the Method of Loci was carried out using fMRI experiments. During the last three years, a Japanese subject memorized 2,000 English sentences, each of which consisted of about 10 words. The brain images when the subject was recalling the sentences were acquired in the activation and baseline epochs. The fMRI signals were analyzed using SPM99 and a modified fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm that entails two steps, i.e., regression and clustering. The clustering results reveal the functional specialization of Broca’s area and visual area. The visuo spatial imaging task at the beginning and the middle of each experimental block differentiates the responses at visual cortex from that of the motor speech areas of Broca, insula and Wernicke area.
