We will draw on organizational, cognitive science, psychobiology to create an immersive experience and unveil the hidden ways our minds perceive and interpret problems.
This session delves into the fascinating neuroscience behind how our minds really work when we face conflicting motivations or difficult dilemmas for which there is no obvious best answer. Attendees will explore real-life dilemmas and learn effective cognitive processes to deal with those dilemmas as revealed by the latest research in neuroscience. We will draw on organizational, cognitive science, psychobiology and even sports psychology to create an immersive experience and unveil the hidden ways our minds perceive and interpret problems.
