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 right listens wearily as the heart on the left with an exasperated facial expression pleads, "Please forgive me for the things I said about our relationship while I was hangry." Text reads: "Interoceptive Bias: When sensory information from the body influences one's perceptions and judgments about external, larger, or unrelated circumstances."]
