About
Dr. Stuart Zola
Dr. Stuart Zola is a neuroscientist whose work has shaped how we understand memory, decision-making, and cognitive health. From pioneering research on the brain’s memory systems to co-founding innovative neurotechnology companies, his career bridges science and real-world impact.
Today, he brings that expertise into classrooms and organizations through engaging talks and Visual Thinking workshops, rooted in the teachings of his mentor Tony Buzan, the grandfather of Visual Thinking, designed to make better decision-making accessible to all.
Visual Thinking / Decision Making Workshops
The Visual Thinking / Decision Making Workshop brings decision-making to life by combining proven frameworks with powerful visual tools like mind mapping. Designed for K-12 educators, students, corporate and industry leaders, the workshop transforms abstract thinking into something visible, structured, and actionable.
