False memories occur when people recollect non-experienced events or incorrectly recall experienced events. In forensic contexts, inaccurate recollections can lead to errors in conviction. In this session we will look at the scientific approaches to understanding eyewitness identification and examine the influence this has had on the legal field.

During the event there will be games and special Pint of Science goodies to be won!
