In this episode we dive into two topics that get way too close to reality to ignore.

First we break down the Microwave Auditory Effect, also known as the Frey Effect, which is a real phenomenon where microwave signals can create the perception of sound directly inside someone’s head. No speakers. No outside sound. Just something that feels like it came from your own mind.

Then we move into the Synthetic Memory Hypothesis and the idea that memory is nowhere near as reliable as people think. Memories can be influenced, altered, and in some cases even completely false while still feeling absolutely real.

When you put both of these together, it raises a bigger question. If something can affect your perception, and memory is what builds your reality, then how much of what you think is actually yours?
