Unlocking the Mysteries of Memory | The Agenda

Описание: Like many things about the brain, the actual function of recollection is unseen and unknown for most of us. A new book, "Adventures in Memory: The Science and Secrets of Remembering and Forgetting," (https://www.amazon.ca/Adventures-Memo...) offers some remarkable insights. The Agenda welcomes the authors of the book - novelist Hilde Østby and neuroscientist Ylva Østby - to discuss their findings.
