About this event
Memory can feel vivid and certain, but it is not a perfect recording of the past. This interactive presentation from the Center for Law, Brain & Behavior explores how memory is formed and changed, including the effects of stress, trauma, suggestion, and interrogation. Attendees will learn what neuroscience can—and cannot—tell us about eyewitness testimony, false confessions, and the reliability of our everyday memories.
