  • Talk title: Embodied brains, social minds: How admiration inspires purposeful learning
    The science of neurobiology is changing our understanding about social emotions, showing us how inspiration is intertwined with our biological survival as a species. People feel deeply moved when they hear inspirational stories about other human beings, for instance stories of hardship and tragedy overcome by virtue of hard work, determination, smarts and grit. Science is showing that when we hear these extraordinarily inspirational stories, more blood flows to our brain stem - the very part of our brain that makes our heart beat, regulates our breathing and keeps us alive. You are literally feeling inspiration on the very substrate of your own biological survival.
    Mary Helen Immordino-Yang is a neuroscientist and human development psychologist. In her work she studies the neural, psychophysiological and psychological bases of emotion, social interaction and culture and their implications for development and schools. A former junior high school teacher, Mary Helen earned her doctorate at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. She is an Assistant Professor of Education at the USC's Rossier School of Education and Assistant Professor of Psychology at the Brain and Creativity Institute. She's also the inaugural recipient of the Award for Transforming Education through Neuroscience.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxManhattanBeach, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxManhattanBeach event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

    What a fabulous way to give us a sense of our complex selves. Embodiment is the new watchword!

    I just saw you present at the Association of Educational Therapists National Conference, and I have to say, you were one of the best, most dynamic, most inspirational speakers i have ever heard. Thank you so much!

      What month is that conference? I might be going to the National Organization in Human Services (NOHS) annual conference in Virgina because I'm a human services graduate student, human services club board member and also a student member at NOHS.

    He has probably had access to the cheapest, most diverse aggregate of human knowledge called the Internet. He was probably raised in an environment that allowed him to pursue his interests (he even says his parents paid the fee to get him on the app store) and it's not too much to say he might've encountered books or a few classes. You know, environment plays a huge role in how much "smarts" are expressed... Poor people have the best chance by studying, and reading, and applying learning.

    How does this work out practically in a person’s life. You get inspired, then what?
