SUMMARY:Your Brain Has Been Hacked: Rethinking Attention\, Tech\, and the Crisis of Digital Overload
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required. Sign up below to receive the Zoom 
 information on the morning of the event. \n\nDigital addiction is quietly 
 reshaping student behavior\, attention\, and motivation. This dynamic 
 workshop explores the neuroscience of digital addiction\, unpacks how 
 algorithms exploit dopamine pathways\, and examines how this rewiring is 
 contributing to rising rates of anxiety\, depression\, executive 
 dysfunction\, and even physical symptoms like headaches\, insomnia\, and 
 chronic fatigue. Participants will also explore what colleges can do to 
 respond and gain tools to spot digital dysregulation\, foster attention\, 
 and build tech-conscious classrooms that support deep learning.\n\nAbout 
 the Speaker: Dr. Stacey Patton is an award-winning journalist\, historian\, 
 child advocate\, and nationally recognized speaker whose work sits at the 
 intersection of race\, trauma\, education\, and media. Known for her 
 powerful storytelling and evidence-based insight\, Dr. Patton delivers 
 dynamic talks that challenge audiences to rethink how childhood adversity\, 
 especially abuse\, neglect\, and systemic inequality\, shapes learning\, 
 behavior\, and public life.\n\nA professor of journalism at Howard 
 University and research associate at Morgan State University’s Institute 
 for Urban Research\, she blends cutting-edge research in neuroscience\, 
 mental health\, and trauma with lived experience as a former foster youth 
 and survivor of abuse. Her talks equip educators\, leaders\, and 
 institutions with tools for building trauma-informed\, emotionally 
 intelligent learning environments.\n\n\n\nThis event is generously 
 sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.
