"Interestingly, not just from neuroscience, but also from psychology, there's a wonderful researcher by the name of Elizabeth Loftus, who's done some really fascinating work looking at planting false memories. And she has a great TED talk on this as well, talking about planting of false memories, where she successfully, in a number of her experiments, has planted false memories, including people believing that they've been at Disney World with characters who are not Disney characters, taking photographs with those characters, or that they've seen a 🛑 stop sign that wasn't actually there simply by manipulating images and stories that she tells to them and then they come back into the lab and they are convicted in their belief. And so there's some really interesting research that we can plant false memories in the 🧠 brain. And in a different context, one of the emerging areas that's really interesting in law and neuroscience is pain detection. And once we understand the circuitries tha

And so there's some really interesting research that we can plant false memories in the 🧠 brain. And in a different context, one of the emerging areas that's really interesting in law and neuroscience is pain detection. And once we understand the circuitries that cause pain, I guess the question is, could we then instill pain 😖 and use that in many coercive measures in the legal system as well."
"Wow, that's amazing."
