I have heard (but have no reference document to cite) that neuro-surgeons
have demonstrated that stimulation (i.e, contact with) certain parts of the
brain can produce complete recall of all sensory input from a past event,
even of details not originally "noticed".  There is apparently a complete
record of sensory input stored which some mechanism filters, so that we are
"aware" of only some of it.  Can anyone corroborate this, and cite a reference?
