    Through interactive demonstrations that reveal hidden thoughts and predict audience choices, Dane illustrates how the brain constantly filters reality. These experiments create powerful “aha” moments that reveal how easily our perceptions can be influenced and how awareness of these processes can improve communication, leadership, and problem-solving.
