Episode
43 of the Brain Science
Podcast is an interview with Dr. Robert Burton, author
of "On
Being Certain: Believing that You are Right Even When You're
Not." This episode is part 2 of our discussion of what
Dr. Burton calls "the feeling of knowing." We discuss the evidence
that this "feeling of knowing" is generated in our unconscious. Not
only is its generation inaccessible, but despite its power this
feeling is not necessarily reliable. The focus of Dr. Burton's
interview is a look at the implications of this important
discovery.
