Facebook users are being invited to experience what it is like to live with dementia in a bid to raise greater awareness about the disease.
The FaceDementia app, by Alzheimer's Research UK, "takes over" personal Facebook pages, and temporarily erases important memories, mimicking how dementia affects the brain.
Users can watch their personal photos, important details and status updates disappear before their eyes.
Their real page remains intact.
