Why do we remember things that never happened? In this mind-bending conversation, Dr. Linda Henkel—cognitive psychologist and memory expert—joins Artie to explore how snapping photos can actually impair memory, how false confessions take root, and why deepfakes and digital filters are distorting more than just images. From the neuroscience of recall to the power of suggestion, this episode dives deep into how our brains construct, edit, and sometimes betray our memories—often without us even knowing it.

Topics covered:
• The photo-taking impairment effect
• Why memories aren’t snapshots—and never were
• Source monitoring errors and false confessions
• The illusion of “real” in filtered photos
• How AI and repetition fuel misinformation
• Why reminiscing can heal—and how to do it better
