About
Dr. David R. Gruber
I discover lines of connection among communication, cognition, art and philosophy.
Many of my articles examine the communication challenges, social relevancies, and philosophical conundrums around new neuroscience. I am interested in the material dynamics of persuasion, the body-brain connection, gut feelings, subconscious allure, etc. Below is a list of my writings.
