Neuroheuristics

Neuroheuristics is a big word that means scientists are using our brains (neuro) to help us make better decisions (heuristics). Let's say you're trying to solve a puzzle or math problem but you're stuck. Your brain has to use some tricks to find the answer. These tricks are called heuristics, and they help your brain make quick and efficient decisions.

Neuroscientists look at how the brain uses these heuristics and try to make them even better. They use fancy machines like MRI scanners to see what's happening in our brains while we're solving problems. They can then use this information to create computer programs or teach robots how to make better decisions based on our own amazing brains.

Neuroheuristics is like asking your brain how it solves problems and then putting that knowledge into technology to help us do things even better!
