Memory restoration allows him to access a "plane of consciousness" (similar to the one precogs access, if not the same) where he can observe anyone's memories. As an extension of this, he can project these images so others can view them as well. None + This would explain why Sylar's memories were simply shown to him as opposed to being restored. It would also explain where he projected these memories from.
- Sylar's memories were only suppressed by Matt, he didn't erase them. Damien simply bypassed that suppression with his ability. Sylar says they don't feel like his own because he picked up lots of memories that belonged to Nathan, and because he was made to believe he's Nathan.
