This seminar looks at how the latest discoveries of brain science are reshaping our understanding of safe behavior. Up until 10 years ago, before brain science, we had an incomplete picture of what drove behaviour and tried many things to influence it with varying success. The common view was that all behaviour was conscious or could be made to be conscious. Now we have a more complete picture because we know most behavior originates in the subconscious. We have managed safety for 50 years primarily by fixing the environment, improving the system or making safety more conscious. That works, but only up to a point. This seminar will show what has been missing, and how the subconscious can be influenced to be enable safe behavior.
