The Neuroscience of Decision-Making: Are We Foul or Fair? | Kimberly Papillion | TEDxNashvilleWomen

Published on Apr 22, 2019
Did you know that brain scans can tell us what tricks us, scares us, and keeps us from solving problems? Facial features, accents or just a name can change the way our brains react when we meet people. Neuroscience can help fair-minded people make better assessments about who’s honest, smart, nice, or threatening despite our unconscious thoughts and implicit biases. Kimberly Papillion is a nationally recognized expert on the subject of decision-making in medicine, business, education, and law. She served as a member of the faculty at the National Judicial College. She lectured to physicians nationwide and corporations including Google, Walmart and Clorox. She presented to judges throughout the United States as well as in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Trinidad. She lectured to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the US Department of Justice, and the US Department of Education. Kimberly attended the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia University School of Law. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
