1. This is Your Brain on Bias
Manage episode 307209568 series 3007179
Bias: we all have it on some level, whether consciously or unconsciously. But how is it formed in the first place, and how do our brains subconsciously keep it going? On this episode of IncludrPod, Jeffrey is joined by David Eagleman, a neuroscientist, New York Times best-selling author, technologist and entrepreneur. David studies brain plasticity, the neuroscience behind human creativity, and the neural functions we aren’t even yet aware of. During the episode, David helps us learn more about the brain’s role in the formation of bias, us vs. them mentalities, and empathy. He’ll help us discover how we can harness our own cognitive processes personally and professionally to live life more intentionally, and form more authentic connections with others—despite our differences.
