Why Your Memories Are Fiction

Описание: This video explores the science of memory reconstruction and challenges our belief in a fixed, reliable past. It reveals how each time we recall an event, our brains rebuild it — pulling fragments from sensory and emotional traces, filling gaps with imagination, and reshaping details to fit who we are now. Drawing on psychological and neuroscience research, it shows how memory is not retrieved but recreated through processes like reconsolidation.
