Here is an article on "Answers in Genesis":
Did Jesus Hold False Beliefs? William Lane Craig Suggests So!
In Matthew 13:15 and John 12:40, Jesus is quoting Isaiah talking about "understanding with their hearts".
Did Jesus know that hearts can't understand things and that it is the head (or mind) that understands things?
If so, did he just let people wrongly believe that their hearts could understand things because he didn't want to confuse them?
You may be basing comparison on human knowledge (or academia), which (even in its most advanced application) is painfully makeshift and unsophisticated at best.
The Word of God actually ordered the matter, quantum vacuums, and inter-dimensional spaces around it - everything - so if He says we think with out hearts, then He knows better than the latest Laureate physician.
On the other hand,academics are just beginning to realize the connection between the heart and brain (this was know for a while, but it wasn't "officially" known until academia legitimized it). Your brain controls impulses and connections, but your heart provides the vector for which the chemistry of your body can distribute properly. When you are excited/hate/love/like/dislike/judge/etc, it is your heart that distributes the chemical consequences of your endocrine system. Your brain (mind) allows your body to react to produce the endocrine push in the first place.
Your heart and brain are both "minds". One is electromagnetic (spiritual/brain), the other is mechanical (physical/heart). They represent two sides of the same coin of will, and action.
