This week’s episode of @WHYYThePulse features a range of perspectives on implicit bias—including research taking place here at the PCfN.
Tune in to learn more about one of our latest studies, an app-based intervention targeting bias towards individuals with facial anomalies →
We've heard a lot lately about "implicit bias" - the assumptions and stereotypes that we may not be aware of, but that influence us anyway.
On this episode, we explore the concept of implicit bias — its origins, how to test for it, and how to address it.

Metaphors are not usually reversible. Lawyers can be sharks but not vice versa. The brain-as-computer "metaphor" is a rare example of one which changed direction over time. In the 1950s, computers were described as "electronic brains".

Penn is advertising a postdoc in an interdisciplinary center for work on the mind. I have it on good authority that they would be interested in philosophers who do experimental research.
