What if the person you love most looked exactly the same but suddenly felt like a stranger? In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy dives into the unsettling world of Capgras Delusion, a rare but fascinating neurological disorder where people become convinced that their loved ones have been replaced by impostors.
We’ll explore how the brain processes facial recognition, what happens when emotional memory and identity perception fall out of sync, and why the mind often chooses a conspiracy theory over uncertainty. Along the way, you’ll hear the real-life story of a man who lost not his wife but the feeling that she was real.
Expect wild analogies, chilling implications, and the uncomfortable truth that reality, identity, and trust all hang on surprisingly delicate brain wiring. If you’re into bizarre psychological phenomena, cognitive neuroscience, or just want to understand why your brain sometimes lies to you this one’s for you.
