Neuroscience-Informed Education
An evidence-based atlas mapping major neural networks — creativity, empathy, attention, memory — to teaching practices and virtues like mercy, forgiveness, and self-transcendence. Includes interactive 3D brain visualizations of each virtue's neural signature.
Each diagram shows a 3D stylized brain with activated regions highlighted. Hover over a glowing node to read its function. Drag to rotate.

Each entry is tagged by evidence level. Strong entries cite randomized controlled trials or meta-analyses. Moderate entries draw on observational neuroimaging studies. Emerging entries reflect preliminary or theoretical work that shows promise.
Citations are drawn from PubMed-indexed journals including Neuropsychologia, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Scientific Reports, Human Brain Mapping, and educational databases including CASEL and the American Federation of Teachers research library.
Brain networks are mapped to practices using functional connectivity research and pedagogical meta-analyses. Virtues such as mercy and self-transcendence are linked to their identified neural correlates in moral neuroscience literature, then cross-referenced with contemplative education research.
