The Missing Link in Character Creation: The Neuroscience of Storytelling By The Brainular Self™

This immersive program explores the neuroscience behind character creation, storytelling, and performance through the framework of the Brainular Self™. Participants learn how characters are psychologically formed, emotionally driven, and behaviorally evolved through schemas, metaphors, engagement patterns, and meaning-making structures.

The program helps writers and performers create deeply layered, psychologically authentic characters by understanding unconscious processes, emotional landscapes, cognitive frameworks, and narrative dynamics.

Key Learning Areas:

• Understanding the Primary Schema of a character’s self
• Exploring unconscious emotional and behavioral patterns
• Developing character engagement through MABS & Force Gestalts
• Creating layered plots, subplots, and relational dynamics
• Understanding past-future meaning-making mechanisms
• Using metaphors, grammar, and topographical mapping for storytelling
• Building immersive character worlds across space and time
• Designing psychologically rich and emotionally compelling narratives
