Summary

What if you could train your brain to generate better content ideas? This neuroscience-backed session explores how creators can tap into the brain’s natural creativity systems specifically for content production. With live brainwave demos on stage, you’ll see what happens during “Eureka” moments and how to trigger them on demand. Walk away with practical, brain-based tools to improve video ideation, storytelling, and content flow in the creator economy.
