Lakeland Lecture: How Cuteness Wired our Brains

“Irresistible: How Cuteness Wired our Brains and Conquered the World”, presented by Professor Joshua Paul Dale of Chuo University

Why are some things cute and others are not? What happens to our brains when we see something cute? How did cuteness "go global" from Hello Kitty to Disney characters?

Professor Dale will address these questions and so much more. He is a pioneer in the field of cute studies. He is the author of "Irresistible: How Cuteness Wired our Brains and Conquered the World", released in 2023.
