Scott Fraser 研究人类——尤其是目击证人——对犯罪过程的记忆。在这场令人震撼的演讲中，他以一桩发生在傍晚的枪击杀人案为例，向我们表明，即使是近距离目睹事件发生的目击证人，也可能“创造”出没有看到过的记忆。为什么？因为大脑总是在重构记忆。

Memory can send innocent people to prison, even when witnesses are confident in what they saw. In one case, six teenagers all identified the same 17-year-old as a killer, but poor lighting and brain science proved they couldn't have seen the shooter clearly. Decades of research show that most exonerations hinge on mistaken identifications. Memory fills in gaps with guesses, making even vivid recollections dangerously unreliable.
