Abstract My project aimed to find the placebo effect's ability to alter the human brain’s ability to recall memories. I wanted to see if the placebo effect could help someone remember details they would have forgotten, as it could potentially improve eyewitness account accuracy, leading to an improved overall safety for everyone, so I planned and conducted this experiment.
