The Memory Scanner is a machine created by Lewis to find his mother. Lewis entered it into Joyce Williams Elementary School science fair. Bowler Hat Guy (under the control of DOR-15) stole it and passed it off as his own.

Function[]

First, a date is typed into a keypad. Then, the user's helmet (only one person can wear it at a time) scans the brain for the corresponding memory, and displays it on the screen. The image is shown as though the viewer is watching through the user's eyes and listening through the user's ears.

It also appears to be able to record a memory for later viewing, as shown when Lewis watched DOR-15's takeover of the world until Lewis returns to the present, warning Goob about DOR-15's true intentions and telling DOR-15 that he will never invented her, restoring the future.

Later during the end of the film, Lewis asks Mr. Willerstein to know if he could participate in the Science Fair at school, but Willerstein gives him one more chance before he cannot participate anymore. Lewis then shows the Memory Scanner at the Science Fair, impressing him and the other staff at the school as well as winning the Science Fair. Following the success of Lewis' invention, a reporter tells him that he has a bright future in him just before Lewis leaves the school to get adopted by his new parents.

Trivia[]

  • The Memory Scanner can also read the memories of machines, shown when Lewis saw the memories of DOR-15's takeover of the world.
  • In a deleted scene (recorded and animated but removed from the final film), Lewis used the Memory Scanner on himself to uncover one of the earliest memories that he had of his mother before she had to give up her son, with the Krunklehorns being present to witness the event. Before her true identity could be revealed to him, however, he turns the device off.
