Our brain changes with age, and it becomes more difficult to remember recently received information or even familiar words. If you are young and experiencing bouts of forgetfulness, it is necessary to understand the causes.
We believe that our brain is a reliable source of information, but this is not the case. Memories can be distorted for various reasons, which has repeatedly led to unfortunate consequences. For example, when considering witness testimony in court. New research conducted by Adam Albi and Peter Paikossy from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics has shown that there is an objective way to measure how reliable a person's memories are simply by observing their pupil response.
