Science of Story Teleconference Set for Dec. 8

Thaler Pekar and her neurophysicist and brain-mapper brother Jim (pictured) will explore The Story of the Science of Story on Wednesday, December 8 in a free teleconference.

They’ll be addressing these questions:

Is the effectiveness of story explained by “brain science”, and especially by brain-mapping?
How does brain mapping work, and what does it tell us about the organization of the brain?
What are the limitations of brain mapping?
What is “reverse inference” and what is “neuroessentialism”?
What can brain mapping say about story?

The free teleconference is generously hosted by Worldwide Story Work, a community of story practitioners focused on the application of story-based techniques in organizational settings.

The Dec. 8 event takes place 4 - 5 PM Eastern. Dial 1-218-936-4700 then enter Access Code 710691.
