Feeling stuckĀ is painful, frustrating and has very real consequences.
Yet it is surprisingly poorly understood as a problem in its own right.
Who is Applied Brain Lab?
Ā
Applied Brain Lab was founded by Gwen Bach, an applied neuroscientist with academic training in psychology and neuroscience and professional experience across clinical, organisational and educational contexts.
Her work examines why people get stuck, how brain state, cognitive processes and the environments around us shape behaviour, and what can actually help us move forward.
She is a graduate of King’s College London, a founding member of the German chapter of the Applied Neuroscience Association (ANA) and runs its Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group, with a particular interest in how neuroscience can be translated responsibly into real-world practice.
And outside the lab, Gwen lives in Germany, has a husband, two children and an ageing, nearly deaf Yorkshire Terrier, drinks a lot of tea and considers biscuits a perfectly reasonable accompaniment to serious scientific thinking.
