31. Your brain on stories.
At Princeton University,
Uri Hasson does research
on storytelling by attaching
electrodes to people.
He finds that when
somebody tells a story,
certain parts of the brain
light up.

32. Those same regions
are stimulated in the
brains of those who are
listening to the story.
If the speakers tells
the same story in a
different language,
it doesn’t have the
same effect, because
the listener doesn’t
understand the content.

33. He calls it
brain to brain coupling.
In other words,
tell me a story and
our brains are in
sync.

36. Your mission in any
presentation is to inform,
educate, and inspire.
You can only inspire
when you give people a
new way of looking at the
world in which they live.

37. A fresh, new,
and unexpected
twist on an old
idea releases
dopamine,
your brain’s natural
“save button.”

processing
consumes a
lot of energy
especially
on the brain.

39. The jaw-dropping moment.
“Thou shalt not simply
trot out thy usual shtick.”
TEDCommandment

40. B I L L G AT E S
made headlines when
he released mosquitoes
into the audience during a
presentation on malaria.

41. Jaw-dropping moments create
what neuroscientists call an
“emotionally charged event,”

on a person’s brain.

43. Stick to the
18 minute rule.

44. No TED speaker is allowed to talk
for more than 18 minutes.
It turns out 18 minutes is the ideal length
of time to deliver a presentation.

45. Speaking for too long results in
“cognitive backlog,” which, like piling on
weights, makes the mental load on your
audience heavier and heavier until they
forget everything you said.

46. 18 minutes is long
enough to be serious
and short enough to
hold people’s attention.
CHRIS ANDERSON
TED Curator

47. Create visually intriguing slides.

48. Scientists have produced a
mountain of evidence showing

pictures instead of words are
more likely to be remembered.

her success to
“knowing my lane
and staying in it.”
