The believing brain
from ghosts and gods to politics and conspiracies--how we construct beliefs and reinforce them as truths
Presents the author's theory on the way humans form beliefs, arguing that the brain looks for patterns in sensory data, attaches meaning to these patterns, and then searches for confirmatory evidence in support of these beliefs.
