In this episode of <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/381443482/two-guys-on-your-head">Two Guys on Your Head</a>, <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/psychology/faculty/markman">Dr. Art Markman</a>, <a href="https://music.utexas.edu/about/people/duke-robert">Dr. Bob Duke</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccamcinroy/?originalSubdomain=gr">Rebecca McInroy</a> talk about the psychology of desensitization and how motivation, memory, and context shape what we see, feel, and react to, often without us even realizing it.
