Startling new research shows how false memories can be artificially generated and used to change behaviour. Memory is more of a creative than a mechanical process. Like a Wikipedia entry, we can make changes to our autobiographical history - but so can other people. Martin Plimmer meets experts and observes experiments demonstrating the fragility of memory and the ease with which false memories can be implanted. First broadcast on Past Imperfect, 3 May 2016.
