Whether it's a blast from the past, recognizing a long lost pal or remembering where you parked the car, your memory shapes the story of your life and allows you to interact with the world without things seeming strange or unfamiliar. In this episode, we'll mess with your mind to show you what memory is, why you even have it and why you keep forgetting where you put those darn keys! And if you play along you'll see why forgetting can actually be a good thing. It's going to be a night to remember on Brain Games.
