Neuroscience of feedback (1 of 5)

Feedback and the brain structure – The human brain is constantly making conclusions as information comes in, and not always to the benefit of relationships and communication. Understand the brain, and you are well on the way to improving communication, and providing feedback more effectively.

The human brain uses 20% of all the energy our body produces – or enough to power a light bulb. Although the brain consists of different sections to perform a variety of different tasks, one area that is crucial when interacting with others is the amygdala, which governs emotional responses.
