How to understand the science of storytelling?

Delve into the intricacies of how our brains process and interpret information, unlocking the secrets that make stories not only engaging but also deeply impactful.

Brain’s preference for stories

Our brains prefer information in story-like structures, a product of over 100,000 years of evolution.

This preference impacts how we make sense of information and what we remember or forget.

Role of the Neural Story Net

The Neural Story Net in our brains works to satisfy our need for information to make sense.

It manipulates and makes connections among disjointed pieces of information to create a coherent narrative.

Consequence of disorganized information

When information is too disjointed or disorganized, our brains may disengage and we could lose focus.

This is common when the information does not fit into a story-like structure.
