a bit on [meta]cognition | Stephen Fleming
Have you ever stopped to think that only humans are truly capable of self-awareness? The ability to reflect, notice our mistakes and successes, assess our skills, and have an inner dialogue — these are uniquely human traits. But how do they actually work?
That’s exactly what today’s guest studies. Professor Stephen Fleming is Principal Investigator at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, where he leads the Metacognition Group (https://metacoglab.org/). He’s also the author of Know Thyself (https://www.amazon.com/Know-Thyself-Self-Awareness-Stephen-Fleming/dp/1541672844), a book about the science of self-awareness.
In this episode, we talk about why overconfidence can be misleading, how being too self-critical can hold us back, and how stress and anxiety affect our ability to notice mistakes and build real confidence in our decisions.

a bit on [mind] games: how the brain tells reality from imagination | Nadine Dijkstra
how often have you been absolutely sure you saw someone or something, only to realize you were mistaken?
that’s definitely my friend! or here comes my bus!
only for it to turn out to be a complete stranger, and the "bus" was actually a tram. these little moments remind us just how fragile the boundary between reality and imagination can be.
I explored this question with Dr. Nadine Dijkstra, who is the Principal Investigator of the Imagine Reality Lab (http://imaginerealitylab.org/) at the Institute of Neurology at University College London, UK. we discussed:
why imagination and reality can easily blend and how that shapes our perception of the world
how subjective our experience of reality is
how emotions and imagination influence our decisions and behavior
