At this event, The Neuroscience of Narrative, artist Jeff Leake joins Dr. Bill Griesar (PSU, OHSU, NWNoggin) to explore the biology that underlies how humans create meaning through narrative. Storytelling in combination with sensory and past experience profoundly shapes our understanding, as our brains makes predictions about the world.

In Leake’s work, he explores the interplay between cultural narratives and human relationships to encourage a nuanced understanding of human interaction and storytelling. Brain-related art objects are included in this unique presentation.
