What neuroscience can tell us about collaboration and knowledge communication

Keynote conversation with Sonia Jalfin and Joaquin Navajas

Joaquín Navajas, PhD discusses with Sonia Jalfin, Director of Sociopúblico the implications of his neuroscience research for think tank communications and collaboration.

Key takeaways:

• Diversity and deliberation lead to more accurate answers. This is called ‘collective or group wisdom’.
• When there is no universally accepted answer, presenting a middle-ground view with confidence can help reach a consensus between people with strong opposing views.
• Deliberative polling is a new technique being used to gather public opinion on social issues to inform legislative and policy decisions.
