Neuroscience and learning, potentially focusing on Learning Agility
Always changing… Are we made for that? Are we not creatures of habit? Or does it really just come down to cultivating an open mindset? During this keynote, we take a look into our learning brain. Through both everyday examples (trying out a new software tool) and spectacular cases (a violinist learning to play again after losing half her brain), we explore the power of neuroplasticity. Our brain is built to learn, solve problems, and take on challenges. However, there are some important conditions attached to this. Using the Boost your Brain framework©, we examine what you need to enhance your learning agility.
