Overview

Memory is under heavy scrutiny by a new generation of scientists ⁰́₄ and they⁰́₉re posing an uncomfortable question: Can we trust what we remember about our lives? Just as we often recall someone⁰́₉s name incorrectly, scientists say we can misremember critical personal events, catastrophes and even crimes we think we saw committed. Recent studies are questioning the fragile unreliability of the human memory ⁰́₄ with enormous implications for justice, psychology and our sense of who we are.
