Why Readers Forget They’re Reading (The Science of Story Immersion)

Have you ever been so absorbed in a book that you completely forgot where you were? That experience has a name: narrative transportation. In this video, I break down what narrative transportation is, what’s happening in the brain when readers feel immersed, and how you can use some basic neuroscience to whisk your reader so deeply into your own book that they forget the real world even exists. We’ll look at: • Mirror neurons and sensory simulation • The Default Mode Network • The social brain and character connection • Why vague stakes fail and specific stakes pull readers in If you’re interested in the science behind immersive storytelling, I go much deeper in my book Narrative Transportation: The Science of Writing Immersive Fiction, where I break immersion into three sections: • Sensory-rich worldbuilding • Character construction that activates the social brain • Plot design that sustains tension Links to purchase: Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GMYN3966 Apple - https://books.apple.com/us/book/narra...
