* The more recent ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novels have Jacen Solo discovering a method of short-term memory erasure, which he uses to hide from his apprentice, and others, memories that would point to his being a {{spoiler|Sith Lord}}. It's called "rubbing".
* In [[James Swallow]]'s ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' novel ''[[Blood Angels|Deus Sanguinius]]'', when Sachiel discovers Inquisitor Stele communing with a daemon, they inflict amnesia on him.
