A U.S scientist is raising money to research whether it’s possible to implant false memories in someone’s brain, like in the movie Inception. (Spoiler alerts run out after a year or two, right?) I don't know about you, but there are a lot of films I wouldn’t mind spending some time in. Sure, I’d get…
