🧠💡 Ever Wondered Why We're So Quick to Blame and Burst in Aggression Online? 🧠💡 In an eye-opening series with one of Germany's leading brain and behavior experts, Gerald Hüther takes us on a journey through the intricacies of the human brain, especially in the face of the digital era's challenges. Discover how our brains perceive crises as confusing mazes of incoherence, igniting a wildfire of uncertainty and fear. Hüther brilliantly breaks down why we're more likely to snap and snarl behind screens, pointing out the critical lack of feedback mechanisms, like facial expressions and gestures, on social media platforms. This absence, he argues, significantly lowers the threshold for aggressive behavior. But that's not all - Gerald also delves into the dangers of social media echo chambers, where like-minded individuals gather, often amplifying aggression and misunderstanding.🌐 Want to unlock the secrets to navigating this digital landscape with grace and understanding?

The video is what I see. I’m told most people see a still image. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea that others didn’t ‘see’ the world as I do. For me, when I’m awake, the world around me moves. Growing up, I’d heard the metaphor ‘the earth moves,’ so I assumed everyone saw the same thing. Even though I’ve been a part of the neurodiversity community personally and professionally, it wasn't until I attended an incredible Studio III by Louise Egelund Jensen discussing her sensory barriers that I asked a trusted friend and colleague if the world actually doesn't move. I knew my dysgraphia impacted me every day. Just ask anyone if I can fall over a flat surface! But something I hadn't connected was this. Peter Vermeulen’s work on the Predictive Brain and prediction errors let me connect the dots. It's about how our brains interpret the world differently. Hearing experts at the Worldwide Webinar Making Sense of the Chaotic World: Brain, Body and Beyond, emphasised how important it is to stay curious. We need to look at what is actually causing what we may see others do and not default to a judgement of someone displaying 'challenging behaviour'. We all see and experience the world in our own way, and that’s something we can all learn from. Andy McDonnell Kelly M.

Hey, have you heard about "The center-stage effect"? 😮 This just blew my mind! 💡So, in the early 1980s, a Scandinavian psychologist Karl Halvor Teigen conducted a study where he asked people to pick a number between one and 12 for a cash prize. Here’s what the responses looked like - check the graphics below! 👇 ➡ The middle four numbers were picked over 76% of the time, with the number 7 being the favorite. 🤔 🤯 A sign that our mind is driven towards the middle in most situations. More than two decades later, Ana Valenzuela and Priya Raghubir did extensive research to back this theory up. Among other things, they discovered that people tend to focus on and buy the products placed in the middle of a shop window, a shelf, etc. 🌟 They called it The Center-Stage effect.🌟 A central placement sends a subconscious signal to our minds that something is more important - causing us to stop and focus on that thing more! 😅 AMAZING, right? I love how this psychological tricks explain a lot of how we behave, ha! 💡 #psychologyapplied #people #marketing #business

I've decided to seriously step up my YouTube game! After my interview with longevity expert Aubrey de Grey (who aims to stop aging by 2036) got nearly 10,000 views on a one-hour video, I realized that sharing these game-changing insights about our future needs an upgrade in video quality. From here I will make videos about innovation and interview industry leaders. If you have not subscribed to my channel yet why not do it now (Link in comments), I would appreciate it a lot On top of that, I’ll be conducting seminars and workshops on leveraging AI for marketing, sales, administration, and more. Check out my latest video where I dive into an important question: Who should we trust in the longevity space, especially when we're overwhelmed with advice on living a healthy and longer life? I’d love your feedback on how the new video quality looks! Adam Cavalié Engelhardt Einar Helde Mohamed Alli Biji Tharakan Thomas Tim Verouden

When it comes to making choices, everyone wants to believe they’re rational. But there’s more to the story: hidden psychological factors that influence our behavior. In the digital age of “dupes,” “must-haves,” and “TikTok made me buy it.” you may find yourself wondering: Why do people buy that? And, more importantly, why did you?   At our SXSW panel, moderated by President & CEO Tom Denari, we’ll explore the not-so-logical explanations for consumer behavior. Guided by esteemed psychology and neuroscience experts Kelly Goldsmith, Lawrence Williams, and Michael Platt, we’ll uncover these hidden motivations and turn them into actionable insights in “From FOMO to Fulfillment: The Science of Consumer Behavior.” If you’re a marketer, a consumer, or a little of both, this is for you—and we hope you won’t miss the opportunity to learn why consumers make the decisions they do. Vote now to bring this panel to the #SXSW2025 stage in Austin: https://lnkd.in/e4p5Vtsu

We've been sharing our thoughts on groups over the last few weeks. We really want to make the point that groups can be used for even the most sensitive/ intimate topics if done right. And here is the final part of our thoughts on the matter... how us humans are competitive, and channeling this for good outcomes in our groups. And, of course, a wrap up/ key takeaway points. #groups #qualitative #insight #sensitive #intimate
