Measuring Memories

The video explores the malleability of memory, challenging the notion that memories are like data stored on a hard drive. Instead, it likens memory to milk mixed in water, highlighting its susceptibility to distortion. The discussion includes empirical studies and collaborations with memory scientists using neuroimaging to understand memory processes. It emphasizes the difficulty in distinguishing true memories from false ones, noting the similar neural activity involved. The video also touches on the potential legal implications of these findings.
