DESCRIPTION:Can we erase memories for therapeutic\nbenefits?\nBy Karim Nade
 r (Psychology\, 91ºÚÁÏÍø)\nIf we could functionally erase a memor
 y to make someone better\nwould that be acceptable? What if the memory was
  of a trauma that\nhas incapacitated someone for decades? Maybe the memori
 es are of\ndrug addiction? If we could erase these memories shouldn’t we? 
 Why\ndo we need memories if they keep us down? In a very playful manner\,
 \nmy talk will address some of the science that is at the heart of\nmemory
  research today. The science suggests that memories can be\nfunctionally e
 rased. This science was taken and expanded to the\npoint of fiction in the
  film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless\nMind (suggested viewing for the au
 dience). \nOrganized by the Royal Society of Canada and 91ºÚÁÏÍø 
 with\nthe express purpose of fostering communication between scientists\ni
 n different disciplines as well as between scientists and the\npublic. Cut
 ting Edge Lectures in Science are made possible\nthrough the generous supp
 ort of Heather Munroe-Blum (91ºÚÁÏÍø\nPrincipal)\, Richard Levin (Dean of Me
 dicine)\, Martin Grant (Dean of\nScience)\, Anthony Masi (Provost) and Den
 is Thérien (Vice-Principal\,\nResearch and International Relations). Lectu
 res are followed by\na vin d'honneur reception. Free\, everyone welcome.\n
