The Consortium for Interacting Minds at Dartmouth brings together neuroscience, psychology, and sociology labs to explore how human interactions shape the brain.
My mission was to turn a dense research paper into a short, clear, and accessible video for both academic communities and the general public.
What happens in our brains when we come to consensus? presents the work of Beau Sievers and Thalia Wheatley on how consensus influences brain activity and structures our social interactions.
The main visual challenge was to give form to an abstract concept: consensus. The circle became the core element of the representation, at once explanatory and evocative, suggesting neural activity, the participants in the experiment, and a mode of thinking in constant transition.
One shape, multiple readings: a minimal, precise, and legible visual language that renders complexity visible.
Brain activity
Participants’ consensus
Mental shifts
By making this research clear and visual, the Consortium for Interacting Minds expanded the reach of its work across conferences, academic events, and digital platforms.
Let’s bring your research and innovation to life!
