Why do we tend to think happy thoughts? The latest Packed Lunch talk at Wellcome Collection featured Dr Tali Sharot discussing the neurological basis of optimism and you can read an article about the event at the Wellcome Collection blog.
Dr Sharot, who is based at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL, also featured in our film “Laughing in the face of reality (the science of optimism)” in November last year so visit our YouTube Channel to see more.
