Reading and The Brain Roundtable hosted by The Helix Center!

This roundtable explores the power of words across brain development, medicine, and community, while highlighting the importance of critical thinking in the age of AI and screens.

“So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea.” ― Roald Dahl, Matilda

“The skill of reading with attention, with discernment, is as important today as ever, not merely because of the proliferation of mis-and disinformation, but also because of the continual integration of AI into our everyday lives as well as our research methods.” — Christopher Brown

This roundtable discussion will consider the power of words as evidenced by brain imaging; child development; storytelling in medical settings; reading in community, and, in this age of screens and AI, the ability to nurture critical thinking habits
