Unleashing Imagination: The Creative Brain and AI
–
"If your ideas are just AI ideas, you're replaceable. The future belongs to those who still think for themselves." Leader of a $2.5 million National Science Foundation project on creativity in STEM, Dr. Adam Green predicts the human ability to generate new meaning may be our creative advantage. A premier neuroscientist in this field, he seeks new ways to measure and understand innovative thinking and 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.
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.

Dr. Nan Li directs the Li neuroimaging Lab (LNAB) at UT Southwestern, aiming to develop novel whole-brain MRI imaging methods to integrate molecular and system neuroscience while solving brain science problems in health and diseases. Specifically, LNAB works to understand the neural mechanisms of reward, decision, and learning in rodents.
