ABSTRACT
We do a lot of things that we don’t think about as they are happening. For the most part, our brains run on autopilot, so we aren’t overwhelmed by, well, everything. When you drive, you watch for other cars, but you don’t think about the amount of pressure you keep on the gas pedal or how hard to grip the steering wheel; when you walk, you avoid obstacles, but you don’t focus on tightening your core to remain upright or think about shifting your balance. At any given moment, your brain is doing a lot of work at a level you don’t notice.
