Outsmarting Human Minds

Outsmarting Human Minds (OHM) was created by a grant from PwC to Harvard University. OHM offers learning modules for the broader public, in the form of podcasts and videos, to showcase the science of how human minds work and shape the decisions we make in the workplace and in life, more generally. Watch the videos. Listen to the podcasts. Start conversations about how to outsmart your mind!

These modules have been created by the Outsmarting Human Minds Project at Harvard University. For direct access to the Harvard site and additional materials, including quizzes and articles, visit: www.outsmartinghumanminds.org

400 years ago, we began to explore the universe with simple tools, and it challenged our beliefs about our place in the universe. Are investigations of the universe inside our minds any different? In this video, OHM founder, Professor Mahzarin Banaji explains why the study of the human brain is every bit as fascinating and important as the study of far-flung stars and galaxies.

40 years ago, memory researchers showed us that patients with amnesia could form new memories... implicitly. This sparked an ongoing revolution in research on the hidden mind: how it learns, how it influences us and how it can be measured and changed.
