Biography

Clive Wearing is a British former musicologist, conductor, and pianist who developed chronic anterograde and retrograde amnesia in 1985, resulting in his inability to form new memories and a profound loss of past memories. He is often referred to as "30-second Clive" due to his short-term memory lasting only about 7 to 30 seconds.
