Beau Lotto

Director, Lottolab

Dr. Beau Lotto is a globally renowned neuroscientist whose studies in human perception have taken him well beyond the scientific domain and into the fields of education, the arts, and business. He believes passionately in the potential impact of his work on corporate innovation and creativity. He has given two TED Talks, which have had more than 1.6 million online viewers combined. Dr. Lotto’s scientific research is based on a deep and fundamental interest in human beings. His ambitious ideas about the relevance of science to ordinary people have taken him to places where few other scientists have ventured—including into exhibition space inside London’s Science Museum, where his company, Lottolab, was resident from 2010 – 2012. Dr. Lotto’s education program led to the publication of the first-ever peer-reviewed scientific paper written by schoolchildren (“Blackawton bees,” published by the Royal Society).
