This special issue is the first collection of preliminary reports using advanced camera technology, the SenseCam, to study and rehabilitate everyday memory in ways not previously possible.  This set of preliminary reports from established memory researchers and clinicians uses a series of group and case studies to evaluate the greater potential of this new technology in investigating and improving memory for everyday experiences.
