Description

There are three kinds of memory that all work together to shape your reality. Neuroscientist André Fenton explains.

Neuroscientist André Fenton discusses the intricate relationship between memory, perception, and reality, shedding light on the complexity of human cognition.

Fenton believes memories are not fixed but are continually modified by our experiences and mindsets.

This, in his mind, underscores the importance of humility and empathy in acknowledging the fallibility of our memories and the need to consider different perspectives in our quest for truth.
