Full event details

You’ll discover the factors that can distort what we remember, learn the truth behind common myths about how memory works, and see how these distortions play out in real-world situations.

We’ll dive into the impact of false memories on the legal system, uncovering why eyewitnesses often get it wrong, how line-ups can mislead us, and why even jurors’ memories can’t always be trusted.

By the end, you’ll see your memory in a completely new light: powerful, fascinating… and far from perfect.
