The human brain is able to instinctively collect and recall information in a very particular way, however, some troubles seem to lie in how well the brain mismanages this information. In “Your Brain Lies to You,” Authors Dr. Samuel Wang and Dr. Sandra Aamodt, both established neuroscientists, use their knowledge to explain the specific ways the human brain stores memories and data. However, they also present their conclusion on how the brain can also mislead us to blindly believe information that could potentially hold no merit, without a second thought or inference. Wang and Aamodt claim that this is a result of source amnesia, a phenomenon where the human brain will subconsciously disconnect facts from their original source, making the credibility…
