This document provides an introduction to a presentation on visual facilitation and brain-based learning. It discusses how visual facilitation can help people think less like educators and more like neuroscientists to promote innovation and creativity. The presentation will cover topics like icons vs symbols, metaphors, different mind mapping techniques, and how the brain's confusion around symbols can impact decision making. It encourages participants to sign up for additional resources on using neuroscience approaches.

21. Only needs 3 hours a day to find food.
The other 9 hours can be spent
making someone’s life miserable!
"Baboons aren't stressed by
lions chasing them all day, but
by psycho and social tumult
created by their own species.
They are a perfect model for
human social stress.”
– Robert Sapolsky

49. The American philosopher Charles Pierce defines the difference as such…
Icons vs. Symbols
similar to the shape of the object may have no visible resemblance of
depicted. the object at all.
instantly recognizable. meaning must
be learned.

51. What’s a Metaphor?
The unfamiliar
expressed
through the familiar.

52. My idea is gold.
Jonathan Haidt, of the University of Virginia, has
shown how viscera and emotion often drive our
decisionmaking, with conscious cognition
mopping up afterward, trying to come up with
rationalizations for that gut decision.
The viscera that can influence moral
decisionmaking and the brain’s confusion about
the literalness of symbols can have enormous
consequences.
Their idea is Sh*T!
