Our brains are very 'gullible'.

Only through a few hours of interviews, the brain will believe that we have ever sinned and need to go to jail.

>>>How do we use the brain?

Psychological researchers at the University of Bedfordshire have recently published a shocking information: most innocent people are likely to be "hypnotized" to believe that they violated the law.

Accordingly, an experiment was conducted on 60 students without any criminal records or precedents. Psychologists contacted the volunteers' parents and asked them to provide the necessary information about their children.

From the data collected, the team interviewed volunteers for 3 times, each lasting 40 minutes. In the first interview, students will hear two events they have experienced in the past. One of the two stories is true, the other is a fake event but incorporates real details provided by their parents.

For the following two interviews, volunteers were asked to remember and recount the two stories. The content of fake events is used in relation to police, attacks, property theft .

Different stories are recounted with mixed fake real details

After 3 interviews, the results were surprising: more than 70% of volunteers believed that fake events involving theft, crime were real and they told them in great detail without I know it's fake.

Most volunteers believe that they have committed a crime and need to be arrested immediately

Explaining this experiment, psychologists believe that: the human brain is basically easy to be fooled. The telling of past stories for volunteers is called a memory retrieval technique . In parallel with that, they deliberately built false memories by incorporating real facts with fake events as well as adding real random details.

People look like that but actually are easily fooled

Consequently, after a few hours, people believed that their false memories were real and thought that they themselves had caused serious sins. The researchers concluded: 'This is the first experiment to provide evidence of creating criminal memories in many people under controlled circumstances'.

The study is published in the journal Psychological Science.
