Lord Winston on the human brain and learning

Truly a ‘Renaissance Man’, Professor (Robert) Winston is a doctor, scientist, politician and television presenter. For some years, Professor Winston has been Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University and has recently been appointed Chairman of the Council of the Royal College of Music. In the field of politics, Professor Winston speaks regularly in the House of Lords, particularly on science, education, medical ethics and the arts. He is chairman of the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology.

Professor Robert Winston’s keynote explores how the brain works and the implications for those in learning and development. He will begin at the beginning – examining how the brain evolved to think, learn and communicate. Drawing on scientific research, including the use of the latest scanning technologies, he will show how the brain uses multiple pathways to learn and reveal the vital role of the memory in this process.

Always engaging and sometimes provocative, Professor Winston will focus on the practical in this opening keynote, looking at techniques to make best use of the natural ways adults learn, including the vital role of emotion.

To experience Professor Winston’s keynote, register for LEARNING LIVE today.
