This has applications in a number of places where you need an expert to do certain things. It doesn't just have to necessarily be for memory research. There's a way to apply the bot system, then that excites me as well. So what are some other tweaks and other institutions you think this research could apply to? I mean, another, so how do we improve memory processes? One other setting, which is, again, criminal or related justice, the International Criminal Court.

Our guest on this episode of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast is Dr. Julia Shaw, the author of The Memory Illusion, Julia is famous among psychologists because she was able to implant false memories into a group of subjects and convince 70 percent of them that they were guilty of a crime they did not commit, and she did so by using the sort of sloppy interrogation techniques that some police departments have been truly been guilty of using in the past.
