Cryptomnesia

Cryptomnesia is a condition in which a person, under the influence of certain factors, can retain false memories of what he once experienced or experienced. This effect is similar to real psychopathological conditions, but is the result not of a psychiatric disease, but of a neuropsychiatric disorder or a special type of epilepsy.

The most common way cryptomnesia occurs is through auditory hallucination, which leads to distorted memories that become the basis for the formation of false memories. Among the causes of auditory hallucinations are stress, sleep disturbances, diseases of the nervous system, disorders of the brain, etc. Despite the fact that this phenomenon is relatively rare
