  In a world of ephemeral moments, our brain diligently sieves through a
cascade of experiences, like a skilled gold prospector searching for precious
nuggets amidst the river's relentless flow. This study delves into the elusive
"moment of memorability" -- a fleeting, yet vital instant where experiences are
prioritised for consolidation in our memory. By transforming subjects' encoding
phase electroencephalography (EEG) signals into the visual domain using
scaleograms and leveraging deep learning techniques, we investigate the neural
signatures that underpin this moment, with the aim of predicting
subject-specific recognition of video. Our findings not only support the
involvement of theta band (4-8Hz) oscillations over the right temporal lobe in
the encoding of declarative memory, but also support the existence of a
distinct moment of memorability, akin to the gold nuggets that define our
personal river of experiences.
