Debunking Neuromyths: Effective Neuroscience Solutions for Business - Joe Devlin

BE GOOD!

🧐 We are honored to have the opportunity to welcome Joe Devlin! Joe is a cognitive neuroscience professor at University College London (UCL) and a leading expert in the field of neuroscience, particularly for his work on language processing and consumer neuroscience. He is also recognized for his contribution to debunking common neuromyths, such as those surrounding brain-training programs and learning styles. With over 80 articles published in top scientific journals, he is interested in applying the latest advances in neuroscience, behavioral science, nudge, and AI to find solutions for businesses. His research has extended to areas such as advertising effectiveness and the use of neuroscientific tools to measure the brain's response to marketing strategies.

In this episode, we will :

• 🧠 Discover Joe Devlin's fascinating journey from AI to cognitive neuroscience.

• 🗣️ Explore the crucial role of language in human cognition and how it sets us apart from other species,

• ❌ Demystify common neuromyths about the brain, such as the idea that we only use 10% of our brain or the concept of the "reptilian brain.",

• 💡 Learn how neuroscience can improve teaching methods and leadership communication,

• ✨Dive into the future of neuroscience and its potential impact on the workplace.
