Radio Cognition

Radio Cognition (noun) — Coined by Tristan Carlson, August 8, 2025.

Definition: The sudden conscious awareness of a thought, action, or process that was already happening subconsciously — like your brain “tuning in” after the fact.

Example: I didn’t notice I’d been tapping my foot during the meeting until halfway through — that’s pure radio cognition.
