Unleashing Imagination: The Creative Brain and AI

In an age driven by AI, neuroscientist Adam Green, PhD, predicts an increasing demand for human creativity. Leader of a $2.5 million National Science Foundation project on creativity in STEM, he seeks to measure innovative thinking as a predictor of success, gauge how different aspects of creativity may work together, and map the seemingly miraculous process of creative ideation. Dr. Green directs the Lab for Relational Cognition at Georgetown University and is co-founder of The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity and incoming editor-in-chief at Creativity Research Journal. Dr. Green was a BrainHealth speaker in 2019 and is back by popular demand.

Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work

An eye surgeon and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Mithu Storoni advocates for a new, hyperefficient way of working. The work that matters most in our technology-dominated workplace – generating brilliant ideas, solving complex problems, and learning – can’t be manufactured like outputs on an assembly line. Our brains function like a car’s engine, with multiple gears that put the brain in optimal mode for different mental challenges – to create, solve and learn.
