Show Notes
Confabulation is the brain’s tendency to create false memories without intending to deceive. This episode explores how and why the mind fabricates details, often blending truth with fiction. Learn how confabulation affects memory, eyewitness testimony, and self-perception—and how to recognize when your recollections might be rewriting reality.
