Keynote Presentation
The Neuroscience of Decision-Making in Higher Education:
Excellence, Accuracy and Impartiality
In this highly interactive presentation, participants will explore emerging research in neuroscience and how it affects the way we lead, teach, network and advance in stressful, diverse and complex environments. Brain imaging and decision-making studies will be used to explain how we react to students, colleagues and policies. The audience will explore how unconscious and physiological processes affect our assessments of intelligence, veracity, threat, and competence. Neuroscience research will be used to explain how we solve problems as well as what motivates us, scares us and fools us. fMRI studies will be used to reveal how we educate and motivate students. The presentation will explore how educational practices can all be helped or hurt by unconscious processes and preferences, and participants will identify ways to increase fairness guided by science.
