Neuroscience: Why are our Habits so Powerful? @ Comprehensivist Wednesdays
Details
Sanjay will be interviewed by Shrikant on a range of topics on neuroscience and habit, such as:
- What is a habit and why do we have them?
- Is there more than one type of habit?
- Are habits only learned, or do we have innate habits (from birth)?
- How do habits form? Is there more than one process?
- What occurs in the brain when a habit forms? Does our brain change physically?
- Are there differences between helpful vs. problematic habits?
- How much willpower do we need to change a habit?
- How can we change habits?
The interview will be followed by breakout rooms and takeaways.
