Can you really trust what you see, hear, and think? In this episode of the EDUx Talks Podcast, we peel back the layers of human psychology to reveal the "secret trick" your brain uses every single day to distort your reality. Whether you realize it or not, your mind is constantly taking shortcuts—creating "mental illusions" that can lead to poor decisions, false memories, and skewed perceptions of the world around you.

What you’ll learn in this 9-minute deep dive: We explore the neuroscience of cognitive ease and why your brain prefers a "comfortable lie" over a "complex truth." From the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon to the dangerous "Confirmation Bias," we break down the evolutionary reasons why our brains evolved to trick us in the first place.

If you've ever felt 100% certain about something only to be proven wrong later, this video explains exactly what happened inside your neurons.
