A previous comment seems to imply that the patients in this study, and by extension, all people with epilepsy, have a psychological condition (are "under psychological care"). This is not the case; epilepsy is a neurological condition. By now we should all know that, and be careful to not make it appear that we don't. Psychologists collaborated on this study, and it was published in a psychology journal. But the people researchers studied were "neurosurgical patients being treated for drug-resistant epilepsy".

Ten to twenty years too late. By now we should all know that anyone under psychological care may have false memories.

For the first time, researchers are able to pinpoint brain waves that distinguish true from false memories, providing a better understanding of how memory works and creating a new strategy to help epilepsy patients retain cognitive function.
