In Episode 4 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Neuroscience Of Inattention - we discuss ‘the neuroscience of inattention’. In the last 10 years or so, brain science has been looking inside our heads with an explicit aim of improving our understanding of why we do what we do.

Ep4. The Neuroscience Of Inattention

Much of what is “new” in safety has not been proven to make any difference to safety performance, some of it possibly making it worse. Our aim is to use legitimate science to explore ways to help improve safety and move beyond just fixing the environment or improving the system or making safety more conscious.These three approaches helped us improve safety and brought us to where we are today, but they are struggling to help us improve further.In the Safety Frontiers Podcast, our focus is to explore novel ways of thinking about safety: using different approaches to make systems more effective, strengthen safety culture, and take a deep dive into the discoveries and insights gained from neurobiology and brain research over the last 5 years. This will be new information to many. We know disruptive thinking challenges long-held beliefs and accepted norms. As such, it could be confronting for some. However, significant improvements tend to come from new perspectives and that is what we are interested in.We do not advocate one approach over another, we are here to explore new safety frontiers, to ensure that we are using everything available to help people with safety.
