Awe and the Brain: How Moments of Wonder Boost Learning, Timing and Social Connection

Описание: What if a single moment of awe could transform how children learn, connect and perceive the world?
In this video, we explore the emerging neuroscience of awe — from its effects on the brain’s timing systems to its role in strengthening attention, empathy and social connection. Awe is far more than a fleeting emotion; it is a cognitive state that expands perception, enhances information processing and supports deep learning.

You’ll discover:

How awe widens the brain’s “temporal window” for perceiving patterns

Why awe increases synchrony, belonging and collective behaviour

What EEG research reveals about awe and information processing

How awe reduces defensiveness and shifts the nervous system into openness

Why moments of wonder matter in schools — especially for reading, attention and community

Whether through stories, music, nature or performance, awe has the power to reconnect learners to curiosity, meaning and each other.
