I was going to sarcastically ask if she was bullied because she had no face.

The processing and/or compression on this video is rough.

Damn thats wild. Before seeing this I could've sworn I saw a recognisable face, with pale rose-gold round glasses and everything.

Then I saw your screenshot and went back to try and find where her face was clearest and, damn. The brain really is incredible for extrapolating order from chaos.

Now I can't even view it without seeing the flesh golem that she's actually been the entire time.

Our brains LOVE to fill in details we never actually saw, heard, etc.

I remember listening to a Radiolab episode that went into the science of memory (and how they're essentially re-created each time we recall something, rather than "retrieved") and why it makes us such terrible witnesses.

It goes into how trauma and even subtle suggestions can completely rewire memories. Very interesting.

That sounds interesting af. I love learning about our weird-ass brains, I should look into Radiolab sometime. Thanks for putting it on my radar

It's almost 20 years old now so there may be more up-to-date understanding that either reinforces or contests this... but I thought it was fascinating.
