ByronDT #16: The Human Lever: You.
Creativity can feel like a mystery. Something you either have or you don't. It isn't. It's the coordinated function of three networks in your brain, and your own can be measured in under an hour.
That's what this workshop is for. To learn how creative capacity actually works, measure your own, and see which environmental inputs are fuelling or capping your output.
AI is in the conversation for a reason. It rewards creative capacity exponentially. The tool doesn't replace human thinking, it amplifies whatever's already there. But that's context. The subject is you, your brain, and what you can unlock with a bit more understanding of how it works.
Our facilitator and local cognitive neuroscientist, Nathan Laverty, will open with a short talk on the neuroscience of creative capacity. Then you get to measure yours. Six cognitive tests on your phone, plus a short audit of the environmental inputs that fuel or cap your output. Private scores, instant feedback, a personalised plan.
One participant wins access to Nathan's 50-day Advanced Mental Performance(AMP) training program.
What you'll walk away with:
Private scores across the three brain networks behind creative capacity
A personalised development plan built from your results
A read on which environmental inputs to fix first, with specific steps
Who's this for:
UX, service, and product designers
Product teams, engineers, and strategists
Anyone whose work depends on the quality of their thinking

Nathan Laverty is a cognitive neuroscientist based in the Northern Rivers and the founder of Advanced Mental Performance. AMP trains the cognitive systems that determine how professionals think, focus, and perform under pressure, using standardised neurocognitive assessments before and after a structured 50-day program.
Most recent result: a seven-person team at Collins Hume lifted measured cognitive performance by 61% over 50 days. Full write-up at collinshume.com.
