CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The innovation conference DIG SOUTH ICON is underway in Charleston with an enthusiastic crowd of entrepreneurs and students gaining insight and inspiration from one another and a slate of engaging speakers. Dr. Robert Cooper led a morning of "Super Keynotes" with Breakthrough: The New Neuroscience of Accomplishing the "Impossible" shining light on how our brains work and how understanding that enables innovators to better maximize their peak times of creativity.
