Iain McGilchrist & Matthew Syed: Diversity and the Creative Brain

Matthew is the author of Rebel Ideas and has written extensively on the need for cognitive and social diversity in collective decision-making. Iain is the author of both The Master and His Emissary and The Matter with Things, in which he argues that the two hemispheres of the brain have completely separate and potentially complementary ways of seeing, and interacting with, the world which are increasingly becoming imbalanced. This talk will be an extraordinary conversation between two respective giants in the field of human perception and phenomenology, where they discuss in depth the importance of diversity and the creative brain.
