How to Use the Power of Mirror Neurons to Build Fans of Your Videos
In today’s covid-19 reality, marketers and salespeople have an opportunity to use video to engage viewers when face-to-face interaction is no longer an option. An understanding of what’s going on in our brains as we watch a video teaches us a simple but powerful way to make our videos more effective, driving engagement, and building fans. Mirror neurons are a group of cells in the premotor cortex and inferior parietal cortex of our brain. These neurons are fascinating because they not only activate when we perform an action—biting into an apple for example—they also fire when we observe somebody else performing the same action. Mirror neurons explain why we feel that we “know” movie stars and television personalities by simply seeing them on a screen. This powerful knowledge unlocks fascinating details for how you can make your videos more powerful. In this session, you will learn: • A basic understanding of how mirror neurons work and how you can apply this neuroscience to make your videos more effective. • Precise predictions of each level of virtual proximity so you can manage video production more effectively. • Details on how to crop your videos to maximize viewer interest. • How effective video can build fans of any business!
