  I use a pretty interesting technique to learn my electrical engineering coursework, known as closed-loop Targeted Memory Reactivation (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6843748/). In other words, I basically learn my notes when I am sleeping!

  Targeted Memory Reactivation is a technique used when an individual is sleeping, and a tone of a certain frequency is first played to synchronize your brainwaves to make sure that you will learn the work. Then the audio (to the corresponding notes) is played. You have to use an EEG cap, known as the OpenBCI device. Anyways, here is the repo I use to learn my coursework in my sleep, but good luck compiling it: https://github.com/Frederik-D-Weber/cosleep

  Basically, I create my notes and I dump them into Anki flashcards. I basically describe the problem as "things are in terms of X and you are solving for Y, what do you do next?". I create both a written and audio version of my notes.

  Anyways, I "recreate" (copy/paste) my notes in Anki, as LaTeX is supported there. I make each flashcard short "like sending a text message to a friend". Anyways, for verbalizing the math I use:

  1. https://02522-cua.github.io/lecturenotes/pdf/Chang_1983_Hand...

  2. https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/jwilson/files/mathsigns.pdf

  My original notes (particularly electrical engineering coursework--which I recreate as Anki cards), I use:

  1. How I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-1/

  2. How I draw figures for my mathematical lecture notes using Inkscape: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/

  3. How I manage my LaTeX lecture notes: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-3/

  The repos for this are here: https://github.com/gillescastel

  This is not new news.

  You can use OpenBCI [1][2][3] to encode information into your memory efficiently. There is a package on GitHub that you can use with OpenBCI to encode things into your memory in your sleep utilizing audio Anki flashcards [4]. There is also a package that allows you to do this while awake [5].
