    I was young when I watched the show and thought it was at least somewhat based on real medical science.

    Though I got skeptical when I saw an episode where they trained a computer on brainwaves present when they looked at different pictures and used that to visually reconstruct the patient’s lost memories or some shit?

      There was one where they sorta see a dream the patient is having from brainwaves, which is sci-fi, but at least based on actual research. I don’t remember why they assumed that would help diagnose the patient, but it probably didn’t make much sense.

      There’s also one where House recreates his list memories by taking many drugs
