The best presentations usually come in the form of stories in disguise, but what is it about narrative that attracts us? Cognitive Neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga has been studying hemispheric function in the right and left brain since the sixties, and he believes a desire for narrative is hardwired in a left brain construct called The Interpreter.
This is the part of our brain that reconciles new information with that which was previously known, organizes our memories, and ultimately helps us form narratives for our experiences and the things we hear.
It seems that no matter how much our technology evolves around us, storytelling will always be at the root of good presentations.
