I selected this article from Curatti written by Scott Aughtmon because it explains the scientific process behind our brain response to compelling content.

 

Understand what drives people to respond to a story.

 

Study Reveals Engaging Content Wins Over Readers

 

The creative locations in the brain respond to certain types of storytelling. I agree that in order to attract an audience you need to understand what how they respond.

 

Aughtmon shows us how the mind if affected when presented with a catchy story.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Stories activate larger areas in the brain – ones that "represent different aspects of meaning." Our mind isn't just listening, but it's also engaging.

 

  • The study shows that our brains are trying the comprehend what's happening in a story. It acts like a computer and starts to analyze the data.

 

  • Our minds will try to anticipate what is going to happen next. The brain actually sees what is being described visually.

How We Master Connectivity The Core Essence of Social Networking

How We Master Connectivity The Core Essence of Social Networking | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

"Without understanding connectivity, the basis of human connections, network theory, contextual intelligence, any business leader unable to grasp those things will be lost." [Warren Bennis]

 

The 12 habits of highly connective people has been the single most read and shared post I have written in the last couple of months. Literally.

 

Why it worked

 

Part of the reason is the structure of the post.

 

It starts with a great story told vividly by a master storyteller and maker who has earned tremendous respect and attention in the business and tech communities. Two communities I am becoming very involved with and hope to bring closer to each other...
