Session 1: The “Bugs” in Our Brain: An Intro to Cognitive Biases

Our brain has a mostly unconscious and instinctual system that has allowed for human survival throughout evolution by protecting us from harm. This system, while important evolutionarily, is also full of errors or “bugs”, also known as cognitive biases.  During this session we will learn about the brain’s inherent flaws, demonstrate some of them and discuss the implications in our lives broadly.
