    Do I Know You? (A Hidden Brain-Revisionist History special on facial recognition)

    Have you ever encountered someone who clearly knows you, but you have no idea who they are? This week, we feature a classic Hidden Brain episode about people on opposite ends of the facial recognition spectrum. Then, in the second part of the show, we bring you another perspective on facial recognition from the Revisionist History podcast. Host Malcolm Gladwell struggles with identifying faces, while producer Lucie Sullivan is exceptional at it. Hidden Brain is about to kickoff a nationwide tour!

  2. How Much Do We Really Know?

    19 DE MAI.

    How Much Do We Really Know?

    You probably know someone who thinks they know more about something than they really do. But you could never be described that way . . . could you? This week, cognitive scientist Phil Fernbach explains the "illusion of knowledge" — the fact that we think we understand the world in much greater detail than we actually do. He'll explore why this happens, and how to close the gap between what we know and what we think we know.  Hidden Brain is about to go on tour!

    Smarter Together, Dumber Together

    Many of us have personal experience with the "WebMD effect" — trying to google our way to a diagnosis when we're sick or injured. Cognitive scientist Phil Fernbach says the internet age has given us access to boundless information, and created what he calls "communities of knowledge." But these communities can sometimes lead us astray, or inflate our sense that we know more than we do. In this episode, exclusively for subscribers to Hidden Brain+, we talk about collective knowledge, and how to know when you've reached the limits of your understanding. This conversation is a companion to our episode "How Much Do We Really Know?". We recommend that you listen to that episode first. Hidden Brain is turning ten this year, and to celebrate, we're heading out on tour! Join Shankar as he shares key insights from the first decade of the show.

  4. Forget About It!

    Forget About It!

    Forgetting something — whether it's a colleague's name or where we put our keys — can be deeply frustrating. This week, psychologist Ciara Greene helps us explore the science of forgetting. We look at why our minds hold on to some memories for a lifetime, but discard others within seconds. And we grapple with a question many people ask themselves: Is my forgetfulness a sign that something is wrong with me? In this episode, you'll learn about:  *The neurological underpinnings of memory *Why forgetting is a core part of how our minds work  *Why this process of forgetting can sometimes be a good thing *How our psychological states shape what we remember, and how we frame our memories *Why we should treat our memories with skepticism and our forgetfulness with compassion  Hidden Brain is going on tour!

  6. How to Harness Your Feelings

    5 DE MAI.

    How to Harness Your Feelings

    Do you feel like you control your emotions, or do your emotions control you? What scientists call "emotion regulation" turns out to be one of the most important life skills we can possess. It's essential in dealing with setbacks, in balancing risks and rewards, and in maintaining successful relationships. This week, psychologist Ethan Kross explores the growing and fascinating science of managing our emotions. He explains why our feelings so often go astray, and shares insights into how to reel them back in. In this episode, you'll learn: *How to coach yourself through emotionally intense moments.  *Why certain types of personal writing can help with your thorniest problems or challenges.  *How to use music and your physical senses to regulate your mood.  *How to use the technique of "selective avoidance" to shortcut emotional spirals and "what if" thinking. Hidden Brain is about to go on tour! Join Shankar in a city near you as we explore lessons we've learned in Hidden Brain's first decade.

    Relationships 2.0: Can I Trust You?

    There's a secret ingredient that underlies every great relationship, every great community, and every great country. With it, the odds of success tilt in your favor. Without it, you can have every other asset in the world, and you're still likely to fail. That secret ingredient is trust. This week, social scientist Peter Kim shares how we reach decisions about whom to trust, and how we can get smarter at making those decisions. In this episode, you'll learn about: *The process our minds use to decide who's trustworthy and who's not. *How our impressions of a person's trustworthiness are shaped by our worldviews and biases. *The mental shortcuts we take in deciding to no longer trust another person. *Strategies to become more skilled in assessing whether a person is trustworthy.
