And what happens again is you'll remember the most significant parts of those experiences, the most attention-grabbing parts. Maybe you're surfing and it's that particular wave that you caught that was the most exhilarating part of your set as opposed to the other things. Now, when you have positive experiences that are kind of calming, we don't know as much about them.

And we don't know as much about whether there is an advantage for those calming experiences. It may be that the sort of more hard-coded biological responses that give you these emotional memory enhancements tend to be for more arousing experiences.

And those brain scans are fairly indistinguishable from somebody remembering the movie or remembering the story or remembering an experience that they actually had. We are most likely imagining how the past could have been, imagining what's happening in the present, and using that same core system to imagine what could happen in the future.
