them remember how to do those daily
tasks and remember their loved ones and
the memories they shared.
Crime Prevention

Because of the way victim's repress
memories, it is often hard to identify
suspects, with Memory lane we can look
into the victims memory, without causing
the victim to relive the experience, take
that data for forensics team to analyze
and ultimately close more cases.
It can also be used to help victims in
counseling.
