The human brain creates a false memory just a few seconds after the event!
People may misremember events, often within seconds, and reshape memories to fit their expectations. Previous studies have shown that people's perception of their surroundings can be shaped by their expectations, which can lead to delusions.

As someone who has experienced my own mental health challenges and witnessed the struggles of loved ones, I am passionate about raising awareness and advocating for better mental health care and support systems.

The Power of the Mind/Brain
The brain has been ascribed many abilities it cannot possibly possess from learning, to seeing, to understanding, to knowing, etc. This is the mereological fallacy writ large. Ascribing attributes/characteristics/behaviors to a part or parts of a thing that can only (logically) be applied to the whole thing. Only of a (mostly) whole human person (and some non human animals) with a (mostly) functioning nervous system including a brain can we say they are capable of doing any of those things. Never forget that a brain divorced from a body is a lump of grey matter capable of nothing save a few basic cellular processes and possibly some low level electrochemical (nerve) activity, for a short period of time at least.
