Grounded in neuroscience

Weekends you
actually remember.

You keep ending up at the same brunch place, and by Sunday night the weekend already blurs. Imprint finds the one thing near you your brain will still be replaying in October, and catches it on sale.

Free during beta. No card required. One weekly digest, ranked by a neuroscience-backed memory score. Not stars, not markdown.

A single dendritic plateau potential can tune a place cell to fire at a new location, with no repetition required. The brain learns in one shot. Jeffrey Magee, Baylor College of Medicine

How it works

Three steps to unforgettable

Imprint scans experience platforms, scores them against neuroscience criteria, and shows you how to make each one stick.

1

We scan deals daily

ClassPass, Groupon, Airbnb Experiences, Eventbrite, Travelzoo, and local calendars. Every listing scored before you ever see it.

2

Ranked by memory, not stars

Each experience earns an MFP score from 0 to 100 across six neuroscience factors. A $22 pottery class can outscore a $200 wine dinner.

Tips that make it stick

Before, during, and after: the 6-second window, the 2-hour recall rule, no-phone zones. Every tip cites the research it comes from.

The score

Memory Formation Potential

MFP measures the six neural inputs that decide whether an experience fades in days or stays for life. Weights are calibrated against the BTSP literature and sum to 100.

Margin note

BTSP shows the brain can rewire from one experience lasting 6 to 8 seconds, through dendritic plateau potentials. Bittner and Magee, Science 2017.

Novelty

New environments trigger hippocampal place-cell activation.

25%

Emotional intensity

Amygdala co-activation strengthens dendritic plateaus.

20%

Multisensory richness

More senses mean more eligibility traces tagged.

20%

Active participation

Motor engagement widens dendritic voltage spread.

15%

Social context

Shared experiences create interleaved memory traces.

10%

Contrast with routine

Place cells fire hardest when the setting defies expectation.

FAQ

Questions
we get

Is the MFP score real science or marketing?

Real science. The six factors derive from peer-reviewed research on behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity, published in Science in 2017 and Nature Neuroscience in 2024. We weight each factor from the experimental literature, and the weights sum to 100.

Why does a $22 pottery class outscore a $200 wine dinner?

BTSP responds to novelty, active participation, and sensory richness, not price. Wine dinners are passive, familiar in format, and single-sense dominant. Pottery is novel, hands-on, and engages touch, sight, sound, and smell at once.

What is the 6-second window?

BTSP operates on a 6-to-8-second timescale. When something genuinely surprises you, your dendrites sustain a plateau potential for that duration, and that is when synapses strengthen. Our tips help you stay present in those moments.

Do you actually scan promotions?

Yes. We aggregate listings from ClassPass, Groupon, Airbnb Experiences, Eventbrite, Travelzoo, and local calendars daily. Each one gets scored by memory formation potential regardless of discount depth.

Couldn't ChatGPT just tell me what's memorable?

It can describe what tends to be memorable in general. It cannot see the deals that went live in your city this morning. Imprint scores today's actual listings with the same fixed six-factor rubric every time, so a 74 this week means the same thing as a 74 next month, and every pick is something you can book right now.

Free during beta

No card, no trial clock, no upsell. Early members get one weekly digest of the highest-MFP experiences in their city, plus the science tips to lock each one in.
