Having working models for the world around us can help us stay alive and well. These same models can also be faulty and get in the way of full comprehension, new possibilities, and enjoyment of life. What helps you stay open to new ways of perceiving the world?

Human cognition, emotion, and motor function are not computational processes. Our brains, hearts, and bodies are living, dynamic, evolving wonders. 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 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. Yet all told, we understand that the biopsychosocial experience of being human is fallible, predictably unpredictable, mutating, and, well, human.

[image description: Two hearts stand facing each other. The heart on the left has a disgruntled facial expression and exclaims, "I knew you would say that! You're such a pessimist." The other heart, with a slight frown and a slight raised brow, watches calmly in response." Text reads: "Confirmation Bias: The tendency to look for and to preference information that supports preconceptions."]
