Bruce Hood Speaker Biography

Bruce Hood Speaker Biography

About Bruce Hood

Experimental psychologist specialising in developmental cognitive neuroscience
Professor at University of Bristol since 2000
Author of acclaimed books on human cognition
Bruce Hood is a British experimental psychologist specializing in developmental cognitive neuroscience. His research illuminates how the human brain forms beliefs, constructs identity and processes happiness through a unique neuroscientific perspective.

A Professor of Developmental Psychology in Society at the University of Bristol since 2000, Hood previously held positions at Cambridge University, University College London, MIT and Harvard. His acclaimed books include "SuperSense," "The Self Illusion," "The Domesticated Brain" and "Possessed," each exploring different facets of human cognition.

Hood's groundbreaking work helps organizations understand the neurological underpinnings of decision-making, belief formation and social behaviour. His research provides valuable insights into why people cling to superstitions, how self-identity is constructed through narratives, and how our brains are fundamentally shaped by social interactions—knowledge crucial for companies navigating complex human dynamics in today's workplace.

Audiences leave Bruce's presentations with practical understanding of how cognitive biases affect decision-making, strategies for recognising when intuition might lead us astray, and evidence-based approaches to fostering genuine happiness and wellbeing in organisational settings.

Book Bruce Hood to give your audience the rare combination of cutting-edge neuroscience and practical wisdom that transforms how they understand themselves and others.
