I find it interesting that no matter how sure you are of a memory, it may still be wrong. Or that I could be so sure of something that happened but in reality it is just my brain filling in parts that I didn't originally remember. My memory still may have the main idea but minor possibly important details are distored and my brain just filled it in with whatever it wanted to even if it wrong.

I am surprised that people could construct false memories and concerned at the amount of people that could be falsely imprisoned. I am interested in how the brain constructs these false memories and why it doesn't like a vaccum.

I am surprised that our brains change and add things to our memories just because they don't like not knowing stuff. Our brains will subconsciously change details they forget and distort memories just so they have a whole picture, even if it is nowhere near to the truth.

From that TedTalk, one thing that surprised me is how people could have distorted memories or lies to falsely convict a person of a crime. I find it interesting how lots of science and math are used in law, proving that only explicit evidence and biases can't make a decision on a case.

I found it interesting how the strength and importance of a memory doesn't relate to how accurate it is. For example, you could remember something vividly, but many details would be skewed.

I believe there should be a scientist during the trial who can confirm that they eyewitnesses actually have reasonable doubt. I find it interesting how the scientist was able to prove to the court that the teenagers couldn't actually see him.

It was cool how somethings might not be real memories and put inside your brain. I was really surprised how you could only see  18 inches in front of you. What if all of our memories are put inside of us and we are in a test simulation or smth idk

I am surprised that the brain tries to reconstruct memories to fill in blank spaces, even though some of them may not be true. It's pretty concerning that many trials use only eyewitness evidence since some people might not remember the scene or what happened correctly and may say something wrong. I really liked this TED Talk, because it gave lots of information about how the brain works and why witness evidence may not be the best way to convict someone.

Something that I found interesting was that people can have distorted memory. It was surprising that when your brain has a vacume that it just tries to fill it in with random things that you want to believe. It is crazy to think that since the teenagers brain had a vacume and could not remember what actually happened they put an inosint man in jail for 21 years and missed his sons life.

I am surprised that all memories, no matter how true you think they are, are always distorted and can be distorted more. It is interesting that you can unconsiously generate false memories. Something that concerns me is how many people that could be falsely imprisoned based on false memories.

I was really surprised that people can actually remeber things incorrectly an create distorted memories or change stories without realising it. I was also surprised that eye witnesses can get facts wrong lots of the time without even trying to.

I am surprised than memories are really a fabric of real events and assumptions. It would interest me to learn more about how eyes work in order to understand the story more. It is concerning to me that people can be convicted on testimony about events that didn't happen.

I was surpirsed on how much the brain would fill in when someone forgets something, and how they create distortied memories. And it is interesting how when someone makes a distortied memory they are very confident in its accuracy when it is not accurate at all.

I have definitely experienced this first hand. There have been many times where I am so sure about something that I have seen, then get into a disagreement knowing that I am right but then going back to double check and being wrong somehow.

I thought that it was very surprising that someone was able to reconstruct the scene of the crime to prove that there was almost no way that the kids were able to see the face of the person that shot and killed the father from a car.

I found it interesting that the eye witnesses were so sure that the person they identified did the crime, even if it wasn't. I also found it surprising that how sure you are about something in your head has no correlation to how accurate your memory is.
