Topic: Uncovering the secrets of effective communication: a cognitive neuroscience perspective using hypnosis as an example

Abstract: Humans have exceptional communication skills that allow us to influence, persuade, and connect with one another, forming the foundation of human society. However, the effectiveness of communication and the influence of its context—such as dialogue background, personal experiences, and cultural factors—are not always visible at the surface level. Cognitive neuroscience, by examining brain responses during communication, provides deeper insights into the mechanisms of effective communication.

During her lecture, Professor Chang delved into the neural dynamics of interpersonal communication, using her ongoing research on hypnosis to illustrate the challenges, methodologies, findings, future directions, and limitations in communication research.
