As a graduate student at MIT, Steve Ramirez successfully created false memories in the lab. Now, as a neuroscientist working at the frontiers of brain science, he foresees a future where we can replace our negative memories with positive ones. In How to Change a Memory, Ramirez draws on his own memories of friendship, family, loss and recovery to reveal how memory can be turned on and off like a switch, edited and even constructed from nothing.
A future in which we can change our memories of the past may seem improbable, but in fact, the everyday act of remembering is one of transformation. Intentionally editing memory to improve our lives takes advantage of the brain's natural capacity for change.
Ramirez explores how scientists discovered that memories are fluid - they change over time, can be erased, reactivated and even falsely implanted in the lab. Reflecting on his own path as a scientist, he examines how memory manipulation shapes our imagination and sense of self. If we can erase a deeply traumatic memory, would it change who we are? And what would that change mean anyway? Throughout, Ramirez carefully considers the ethics of artificially controlling memory, exploring how we might use this tool responsibly - for both personal healing and the greater good.
A masterful blend of memoir and cutting-edge science, How to Change a Memory explores how neuroscience has reached a critical juncture, where scientists can see the potential of memory manipulation to help people suffering from the debilitating effects of PTSD, anxiety, Alzheimer's, addiction and a host of other neurological and behavioral disorders.

He shows us how our memories are controllable, and that by modifying memories, we can heal the mind and promote health. We can change life as we know it. Rarely will you find a scientific memoir that leads you to say, "I couldn't put it down." This is one (Elizabeth F. Loftus, author of Eyewitness Testimony)
Combining his own compelling personal story with first-hand accounts of the pathbreaking science that he helped to create, Steve Ramirez explains startling discoveries about memory in an engaging and fascinating way. How to Change a Memory is a must-read for anyone interested in how the brain constructs the past (Daniel L. Schacter, author of The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers)
