For teams and workplaces

Neuroscience Workshops

Evidence-led neuroscience workshops on sleep, focus, resilience, mindfulness and performance, taught by neuroscientists and shaped around how your team works.

Explore the workshops

No-nonsense neuroscience

Understand sleep, focus and resilience at work.

Brainwave's neuroscience workshops turn complex research into practical tools without flattening the science or promising a quick fix. Every session is educational, evidence-informed and adapted to the audience in front of us.

The catalogue

Choose a workshop by what your team needs.

There are five themes, and each one stands alone or combines with another into a longer programme.

01
Band
Gamma
Frequency
30–100 Hz
State
Peak processing

Precision Thinking

Gamma is the fastest rhythm the cortex produces, recorded when the brain binds information across regions into a single moment of insight. The workshop is about how that happens, and how decision-makers protect the conditions for it in a full calendar.

What we cover

  • How the brain binds information into insight
  • Decision-making under cognitive load
  • The conditions deep work requires
  • Sustaining performance without burnout

For innovators and decision-makers solving problems under cognitive load.

02
Band
Beta
Frequency
12–30 Hz
State
Active focus

Cognitive Drive

Beta is the rhythm of active, engaged focus: the state most knowledge work happens in, and the one most workplaces quietly overdraw. The session is about budgeting attention and protecting the memory systems that pressure erodes first.

What we cover

  • Attention as a finite resource, and how to budget it
  • Managing cognitive load under deadline pressure
  • Memory systems: encoding, consolidation, recall
  • Deep-work structures that survive a full calendar

For leaders and creatives carrying a heavy cognitive load at speed.

03
Band
Alpha
Frequency
8–12 Hz
State
Calm attention

Mental Clarity

Alpha appears when the brain is awake but quiet: calm attention, not switched off. The workshop teaches that state as a trainable skill, with mindfulness taught as cognitive training rather than belief.

What we cover

  • Attention regulation you can practise at a desk
  • What neurofeedback is, and what it is not
  • Mindfulness without mysticism
  • Cutting the cost of constant switching

For teams losing concentration to cognitive noise and constant switching.

04
Band
Theta
Frequency
4–8 Hz
State
Deep quiet

Still Mind

Theta rhythms mark deep meditative states, the slow rhythm of a mind that has stopped narrating and started observing. The session is about what happens in a meditating brain, taught from the evidence rather than on faith.

What we cover

  • What meditation measurably changes in the brain
  • Attention regulation and cognitive quiet
  • Emotional regulation under sustained pressure
  • A practice that survives a working week

For teams exploring meditation, resilience and emotional regulation.

05
Band
Delta
Frequency
0.5–4 Hz
State
Restorative sleep

Sleep Science

Delta waves dominate deep, restorative sleep, and every other workshop on this page depends on it. This is a sleep workshop for teams, and it separates what the evidence says about rest from what the sleep industry sells.

What we cover

  • Sleep architecture, stage by stage
  • Circadian rhythms and body clocks at work
  • What deep sleep does for memory and recovery
  • Evidence-based strategies for rest

For workplaces where sleep, recovery and body clocks need rebuilding.

01 / 05

Band ranges follow standard EEG conventions. The five bands are how we organise the teaching, not a claim that one frequency produces one behaviour. A working brain runs all of them at once.

Brief to session

Choose one of five workshop themes or combine several.

We adapt the content and examples to your team’s work and schedule. A sleep workshop for a night-shift team differs from one for a trading floor. A full day can include focus in the morning and recovery in the afternoon.

  1. 01

    Brief

    We start with your people, the pressures they work under, and the dates and setting.

  2. 02

    Shape

    We choose one theme or combine several, then adapt the examples, exercises and depth to your team.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    A neuroscientist delivers the session with your team, in person or live online.

  4. 04

    Keep

    Your team keeps the practical tools and the sources, not just the slides.

Workshop Formats

Choose a keynote, half-day workshop or full-day training, depending on the time and depth you need.

Formats by scope and what happens in the room
FormatScopeWhat happens
KeynoteOne themeA keynote brings the science, the stories and the practical tools to a conference stage or a town hall.
Half-day workshopOne or two themesA half-day makes time to practise, and it is the format most teams start with.
Full-day trainingSeveral themesA full day works through exercises with your team's real cases on the table.

Delivery

  • In person
  • Live online

Every format runs both ways. Online sessions are designed for a remote audience, not compressed from the live version. Share your headcount and we will recommend a format.

Who teaches the workshops

Led by a published neuroscientist.

Brainwave founder Anne-Sophie Fluri is a co-author of peer-reviewed research published in Brain, European Journal of Neuroscience, Brain Stimulation and Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology. She translates research into practical workplace education while explaining the evidence and its limits.

What teams say afterwards

Full day mental fitness workshop

“The session was genuinely fascinating, and the team loved it — the feedback afterwards was overwhelmingly positive. Anne-Sophie is exceptionally gifted: deeply knowledgeable, a natural presenter, and she brings a warmth that creates real trust with an audience.”

LIBF logo

Full day mental resilience training

“We had the privilege of hosting Anne-Sophie Fluri, renowned neuroscientist and founder of Brainwave, for an insightful workshop on resilience. Her research-backed insights will help us navigate challenges with greater confidence and adaptability.”

The science of mindfulness and how to meditate

“Anne-Sophie hosted a wonderful Mindfulness Session for our therapist members. Her personable approach and warmth put everyone at ease, and the session truly resonated with our members.”

Mental resilience workshop for founders

“We would highly recommend Anne-Sophie's mental resilience workshop to other founders and start-ups. It is engaging and relatable, and full of practical tools the team uses day to day. They told us it was one of the best workshops they had ever sat through.”

Wellbeing practices for an online audience

“Anne-Sophie was clearly very knowledgeable on her subject, and excellent at engaging an online audience — never an easy task — while helping them understand the benefits of different wellbeing practices. We would thoroughly recommend her as a speaker.”

Questions Teams Ask

Can a workshop be tailored to our company?

Yes, every one is. The five themes are starting points, not a fixed menu. We shape content, examples and depth around your industry, your schedule and the room, from graduate intakes to founder cohorts to leadership teams, and combining themes into one session is common.

Who teaches the workshops?

Neuroscientists. Brainwave was founded by Anne-Sophie Fluri, a neuroscientist, and every session works from published, peer-reviewed research, with the sources cited in the materials.

Are workshops delivered online or in person?

Both. We run in-person sessions at your offices or off-site venue, and live online sessions built for distributed teams.

Which workshop should we start with?

Start from the problem, not the menu. Teams losing focus usually start with Cognitive Drive or Mental Clarity; tired teams start with Sleep Science. The enquiry form asks what you are trying to change, and we recommend from there.

Is this therapy or clinical treatment?

No. Workshops are educational: the science of how brains work and evidence-based tools for everyday mental fitness. We do not diagnose or treat, and we signpost professional support where a topic calls for it.

How large can the audience be?

Keynotes scale to auditorium audiences; interactive workshops work best in smaller groups so there is time to practise. Tell us your headcount and we will recommend a format.

What does a workshop cost?

It depends on the format and the audience. The enquiry form asks for an estimated budget, with no commitment. We come back with options.
