Applied Neuroscience - with Professor Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott

Module 4: Decision Making and Planning - Present the evolution of decision making, and the different decision making systems that have resulted from this process.

14th - 15th June 2025

What makes this programme unique?

  • It distills complex, cutting edge Neuroscience research into tools that are understandable and immediately useful.
  • It is the first of its kind anywhere. Professor of Applied Neuroscience Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott have been collaborating to make current state of the art neuroscience available in a practical format.
  • It combines Patricia’s many years experience in teaching and researching psychology and neuroscience with Ian’s in delivering real behavioural change for individuals, teams and organisations.
  • It covers a wide range of applications in just 10 days: motivation, creativity, memory, emotion regulation, stress, resilience and decision making among others.

This programme is broken into 5 key areas which run over 5 months.

We would love to discuss this programme with you some more so do get in touch...

Module: Applied Neuroscience - with Professor Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott

As we move up the ladder of success in the workplace, or when we become parents, we are required to make decisions and plan for events that affect a number of different people’s lives – sometimes in highly significant ways. We are also responsible for bigger budgets and financial planning. But we don’t always get support for how to get the best from the decision making systems in our own and other’s brains.

In this module, we will present the evolution of decision making, and the different decision making systems that have resulted from this process. We will consider in what contexts these different decision making processes work best, and how to choose what kind of system to use.

You will learn how to optimise both individual decision making and decision making in teams.
