Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang explores the neurobiology of how emotions, narratives, and bodily regulation form the basis of human consciousness and learning. She details how cultural schemas shape perception, why narrative framing dictates empathy versus dehumanization, and calls for a fundamental redesign of education to foster intellectual curiosity, meaning-making, and person-centered development.
