Description
Why do falsehoods feel true? This session explores how our brains process emotion, repetition, and identity – and how those patterns can be hijacked. We’ll examine the psychological roots of belief, the limits of critical reasoning, and why corrections often fail. Drawing from cognitive science and media psychology, this session offers a deeper understanding of how disinformation spreads – and why our mental shortcuts make us vulnerable to it.
