The Confabulating Mind: How the Brain Creates Reality
Oxford University Press (2008)
Abstract
Confabulations are memories of events and experiences that have never actually happened. Such false memories have fascinated scientists for over a century, and in recent years been the subject of much debate. This is the first book to provide an in-depth analysis of an extraordinary and controversial subject.Other Versions
