When making decisions under high arousal, we often misjudge information, mistaking noise for signal and correlating unrelated factors, which can lead to poor choices.

The emotional state of individuals, such as arousal, can significantly influence attention and decision-making processes.

Simple strategies like breathing techniques can help reduce arousal and improve decision-making by allowing you to rely more on evidence rather than noise in your environment.

Sustaining elevated emotions can lead to significant biological changes, as the body believes it is in a different environment.

AI's algorithms can have false positives and negatives, so it's crucial to balance sensitivity and specificity in medical applications.
