Implantation of memories

Implantation of memories involves introducing false or altered memories into a person's mind, often through suggestion, leading them to believe these memories are genuine. This process can occur intentionally, such as therapy or research, or unintentionally, through suggestive questioning or misinformation. It works by influencing the brain's natural memory formation, sometimes blending real experiences with fabricated details, which the person then recalls as authentic. While it highlights the malleability of memory, it also underscores the importance of critical thinking and evidence-based approaches when recalling or trusting memories.
