Daphne Bavelier: Your brain on video games

Daphne Bavelier studies how the brain adapts to changes in experience, either by nature or by training.

Video Games On The Brain

Daphne Bavelier spoke about the roll video games Play in our lives and how the right amount

Of exposure can be beneficial.

Daphne opened her presentation with the straight forward approach

That is what gained attention with-in the audience

While giving her presentation Daphne Bavelier engaged the audience

with hand gestures and little funny commentsto go a long with her slides

Dynamism Rating: 3.5/5

Her presentation was put together very well, her facts and findings also were presented very well. I just found her engagement to

mirror that of a robot.

Daphne could’ve been just a little more engaging,maybe a couple more jokes or a story.

This would have made it feel less rehearsed

Daphne used a lot of tips from Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte,She kept her slides and text simple,While also getting her point across.

Comparing Sir Ken Robinson and Daphne Bavelier,Is like comparing apples and oranges. They are both

So different, Ken has such a presence on stageThat everyone in the room can feel.

Where as Daphne lacks that same presence,She makes up for this with audience

engagement. She did this by presentingSmall little tests to demonstrate how her lab

is reaching these findings

My advice to future students is simple, find your groove.

And know what you are talking about,Knowledge is power!

And also a little research doesn’t hurt
