Have you ever looked at something that was supposed to look human, but just didn't feel right?? Today I'm going to be discussing the "Uncanny Valley" phenomenon and dive into what makes these "human-like" things... terrifying.
In this first episode, I talk a bit about me and how we got to where we are today in the field of psychology.
In the first official episode of "What's On Our Minds?", I discuss happiness and how we maintain it. How does our body react to stress? How can too much stress chronically impact our overall happiness? What are some ways to help gain and maintain happiness?
