Never Mind the Neurobullocks: The Three Biggest Myths of Neuroscience
Ana Lund will share the three neuroscience myths that live rent-free in your brain and in your textbooks and why they need an eviction notice. Attendees will explore how these misconceptions arise, why they endure, and the consequences they have for therapeutic practice and human understanding. Rather than dismissing neuroscience, Lund advocates for a more thoughtful, evidence-informed integration of neuroscience into social and therapeutic contexts.
