How would he study that concept?


Utter and unmitigated garbage. There are no memories in your heart.

I know it sounds crazy, but there is quite a lot of accounts of this, for example:

August SFM: Cellular Memory in Organ Transplants

Hearts contain quite a bit of nervous tissue, I believe, but the really interesting aspect of this is that memories are supposed to be stored in neural nets, in which concepts are represented by patterns of networks that are unique each time they are formed (correct me if I am wrong) - so even a transplant of brain tissues aught not to transfer memories or ideas.
