Human Performance Under Uncertainty: How the Brain Responds When We Don’t Know What Comes Next
by Anna Steinzeig
About this event
Neuroscientist Anna Steinzeig, PhD, breaks down what prolonged uncertainty does to our attention, decision-making and collaboration, and why it surfaces at work as control-seeking, risk aversion, urgency and defensiveness rather than as visible stress.
This interactive, science-based session runs from brain to behaviour to team dynamics, with short audience exercises identifying which uncertainty behaviours participants have been practising themselves, before turning to what they can realistically do at each level.
Participants leave able to read these patterns as predictable neurobiology rather than individual attitude problems, and with evidence-based tools to keep performing when certainty is not available.
Location: Room 12 - at the Ground Floor, garden area
