(...) the brain is constantly telling us lies. It simply can't record every detail our eyes see, so instead, the occipital lobe adds what it assumes is there. The brain isn't a video recording - it's more like a photo album, and in between those pictures it fills in the blanks. The result is that false memories can be created more easily than any of us want to believe. There will be incidents you swear on your mother's grave happened a certain way ... but didn't.
