The Leading Speakers Bureau

Neuropsychologist, brain imaging researcher & assistant professor of neurosurgery

Rex Jung is a leading scientist in the emerging field of positive neuroscience — the study of what the brain does well. As an Assistant Professor at the UNM Health Sciences Center Department of Neurosurgery, his groundbreaking research led to the first model describing a network of brain regions critically linked together in service of intellectual pursuits. His research is designed to relate behavioral measures, including intelligence, personality, and creativity, to brain function and structure in healthy, neurological, and psychiatric subjects.

Imagine if your creativity had no limits. The possibilities of what you could conceive would be endless.
