Rich false memories of autobiographical events can be planted – and then reversed, a paper has found. The study highlights techniques that can correct false recollections without damaging true memories. According to Dr Hartmut Blank, co-author of the research, “believing, or even remembering something that never happened may have severe consequences. […] In this study, we made an important step in this direction by identifying interview techniques that can empower people to retract their false memories.” (1)

Correct memories. False memories…

At the end of the night, only oblivion can reveal what is true for the coming dawn…
