This was very interesting. I just love Tedtalks so I also watched Elizabeth's Tedtalk in full and it certainly got my gears turning. I was abused sexually as a child which luckily for me I had my father confess to people in the family and have emails from my mother proving the other events happened but it does make me wonder how many of the more detailed memories could be somewhat changed over time or due to the trauma.
I also feel there are certainly many ethical questions brought up by this knowledge. I personally would love to have some warm fuzzy memories implanted in me to help balance out the scary stuff but for clear reasons that is not allowed in therapy but also the eyewitness testimonies is really a thorny subject.
I will have to read more into this and continue thinking on it but thank you so much for the interesting, educational post. I also have been wanting to do more blogs focused on education and science and somehow didn't think to get inspiration from Tedtalks which I love to watch so thanks for that inspiration as well.
You content is always top notch. :)
