Study Reveals Engaging Content Wins Over Readers

The creative locations in the brain respond to certain types of storytelling. I agree that in order to attract an audience you need to understand what how they respond.

Aughtmon shows us how the mind if affected when presented with a catchy story.

Here's what caught my attention:

• Stories activate larger areas in the brain – ones that "represent different aspects of meaning." Our mind isn't just listening, but it's also engaging.
