Memories help us to truly know ourselves. We rely on our memories to discern our identity, status, and expectations. However, the physiological mechanism of memory is inherently unreliable, not to mention that there is constant interference from our external environment. The book “The Memory Illusion” offers a comprehensive explanation of the physiological mechanisms of memory and the causes of memory illusions. This international bestseller has become widely regarded as a popular science book and has been translated into multiple languages.
