Their investigation led to a great new discovery, locations where visual stimulations establish short term memory each have a distinct range of "forgetting time"; ranging anywhere from tenths of a second to thirty seconds.

FMSI or MSI analyzes rapid activity changes within the brain by subjecting the head to various hypersensitive magnetic detectors that pick up the minute magnetic fields which are caused by the firing of neurons within the
