" is so true and I think this is the first link to design.

How cultural memory be capture? you can take a person to an MRI scan, make a bunch of questions about their cultural background, see what part of the brain is the most active, take the picture of that, and there it is, haha im just kidding.
    im not sure of what you are trying to ask, but well for what i understand i think you are trying to ask how the different cultures affect the mind of the person that works in generating design? i dont know if you are talking about architecture, fashion, computer design.im sorry if my answer didnt help you.
