The brain tends to support compassion first for those closest to us. What helps you expand your innate capacity for compassion?

Human cognition, emotion, and motor function are not computational processes. Our brains, hearts, and bodies are living, dynamic, evolving processes. To that end, scientists have described and studied a dazzling variety of specific cognitive biases. This work helps illuminate a vast, multifaceted landscape of statistically meaningful ways that we can now demonstrate how brains are ultimately not computers. At the same time, science has yet to do extensive study of emotive and motor biases that likely can also originate from the significant cluster of neurons in the heart and in the gut. All told, the biopsychosocial experience of being human is fallible, predictably unpredictable, mutating, and, well, human.

[image description: A heart with a slight frown of compassion and its hand over its chest as another sign of compassion looks toward three frowning hearts that are each saying their name, "Jan," "Ivan," and "María." What appears to be the same heart, now with both hands hanging at its sides and a look of bewilderment, looks toward a large group of hearts that are not distinguished. Text reads: "Compassion Fade: The predisposition to behave more compassionately towards a small number of identifiable victims than to a large number of anonymous ones."]
