Sometimes terrible things happen in front of us. For a number of reasons, way may at first be frozen. Even if we are able to help, we may still have to work hard to overcome ourselves and take action. What helps you respond to emergencies that you witness?

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: A heart with an exasperated facial expression lies on the ground, arms and legs splayed wide, having just tripped over a cube-shaped object. In front of the heart lies a toppled cake and the heart exclaims, "Cake down!" At a short distance stand three more hearts. The heart on the left touches its head in a shocked facial expression. The heart on the right leans forward slightly with an unfazed facial expression. The heart in the middle throws its hands up and with anger shouts, "How did we all just let that happen?!" Text reads: "Bystander Effect: Being more inactive during an emergency as the number of witnesses goes up."]
