How Does the Brain Think?
Experience firsthand how the brain really works. Through short experiments and experiential exercises, you’ll discover how perception, attention, and reasoning shape our everyday lives—often without us even knowing.
This isn’t an ordinary lecture about the brain, but an opportunity to observe your own thinking in real time and become more aware, focused, and resistant to cognitive traps and logical fallacies.
About This Workshop
In this workshop, we'll explore how the brain actively constructs what we experience as reality, why attention is a limited resource, and how its mechanisms shape our daily functioning. We'll examine how the digital environment changes brain processes, affecting focus, memory, and decision-making, as well as which logical errors we most commonly make—often without even noticing them. Special emphasis will be placed on how we actually draw conclusions and make decisions—how rational they really are versus how much they're driven by unconscious patterns and cognitive shortcuts.
Interactive Component
We'll demonstrate the deceptiveness of perception through visual illusions, practice focus-building exercises, and conduct short logical experiments that reveal cognitive traps.About the Instructor:
