📚 Lecture: “Neuroscientist Explains: How to Change a Memory”

🎤 Speaker: Neuroscientist, Steve Ramirez

Join us for a fascinating exploration into the malleability of memory as Steve Ramirez shares his groundbreaking research on memory manipulation. As a graduate student at MIT, he successfully implanted false memories in mice, demonstrating just how flexible our memories can be. Now, as a neuroscientist at Boston University, he investigates how to harness the brain’s natural capacity to rewrite memory to improve mental health.

In this intriguing talk, Steve will draw on his personal journey—filled with scientific discovery, friendship, loss, and healing—to discuss how memories can be activated, edited, and even constructed from scratch. He’ll explore the ethical implications and potential of memory manipulation for treating conditions like PTSD, Alzheimer’s, and depression.

Having been featured on CNN, NPR, and in renowned publications like The New York Times and National Geographic, Steve is an award-winning neuroscientist and associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University.

Don’t miss this opportunity to rethink the very essence of memory with the brilliant Steve Ramirez!
