CHARLES LIMB


IMPROVISATIONAL
BRAIN
CREATIVITY
RESEARCH
UNDERSTANDING CREATIVE
MUSICAL IMPROVISATION
Charles is a doctor and a musician who researches the
way musical creativity works in the human brain.
In the introduction
of his
presentation,
Charles captures
the attention of
his audience with
humor.
His audience immediately reacts
with laughter.
He then engages a captive
audience by explaining to them
how his fascination with music
and sound had inspired him to
become a surgeon.
Charles then utilizes Audio/Visual Aids to maintain the
engagement of his audience throughout the duration of his
presentation.
This technique allowed him to effectively demonstrate
the process he and his team had developed to do
research, part of which was to put jazz musicians and
rappers in an fmri and experiment different ways the
brain works during musical improvisation.
The Ted Commandment that best represents
Charlie’s presentation Is III: “Thou Shalt Reveal
Thy Curiosity and Thy Passion”.
During this presentation Charles shares his curiosity
and passion for experimenting and finding
implications to understand creativity of all kinds…
CHARLIE'S DYNAMISM
Overall I would have
to rate Dr. Limb’s
dynamism at a solid
5 because he is very
reputable and
informative. He also
displays a very clear
and scientific
delivery approach.
TIPS CHARLES USED
Mostly all of Duarte’s tips
were exhibited in this
presentation. The one that
had the most prominence
was Dr. Limb’s media image
design which kept the
audience captive and
engaged.
The Garr Reynolds tip I
recognized was the natural
flow of Dr. Limb’s
presentation.
WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT DELIVERY
By watching Limb’s presentation “Brain on Improv”
I learned how to deliver material that will effectively
engage my audience with informative interaction
by using a very natural research and development
styled approach.
CONTRAST SIMILAR AND DIFFERENT
Compared to Sir Ken Robinson’s two videos, Doctor
Limb’s Video was similar in the way he used good
humor to engage his audience as he talked about his
research study of Improv brain creativity. They both
cover two different aspects of creativity. Sir
Robinson’s videos comes from a social awareness
perspective while Dr. Limb’s is scientific.
TIPS
Research your Topic Thoroughly
Focus on the Needs of your Audience
Practice smooth transitions and Natural Delivery
