The Neuroscience of Being Gullible

About this episode

Did man really walk on the moon? Did Kramer really fight off a mugger while driving a bus to save someone's pinky toe? Sometimes people tend to believe things that are likely untrue, even if there is little or no evidence to support them. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind gullibility, and what makes us vulnerable to conspiracy theories.
