'''Psychoengineering''' is a research-based [[engineering]] practice designed to control and mitigate mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. This site serves as a guide to psychoengineering and how to perform it.
Humans have two primary systems of acquiring knowledge: [[intuition]], a fast and unconscious reflex; and [[logic]], a slow and deliberate process.<ref>{{harvnb|Kahneman|2011|pp=20-23}}</ref> Each of these dual cognitive methods is designed to interface with a specific type of information,<ref>{{harvnb|Darlow|Sloman|2010|pp=1-3}}</ref> and are thus connected to different parts of the brain.

These systems are implicated in different behaviors, but like everything in the brain they are deeply connected and regularly interface with each other. For example, one could notice a dessert table and be drawn to it by their intuitive, perceptual mind - but ultimately be drawn away from it by their logical mind.<ref name="Darlow & Sloman, 2010" />{{efn|Psychoengineering uses "empathetic/logical mind" for these systems, but they have many different names in contemporary psychology. Stanovich uses "systems 1/2", so as to not give a preference to either system. Evans has used "old/new mind", in reference to the evolutionary age of each system.<ref name="Evans & Stanovich, 2013">Evans, J. St. B. T., & Stanovich, K. E. (2013).
