A Feldenkrais Lesson for the Beginner Scientist: Professor Dorit Aharonov at TEDxJaffa

- Professor Dorit Aharonov will talk about how principles she had learned in her practice of body-mind methods, and the Feldenkrais method in particular, can be useful in an entirely different realm: doing scientific and mathematical research. By combining body study and movement with her own experience in scientific research, she suggests ways to overcome an obstacle with less force.
Dorit was born in Washington D.C and grew up in Haifa, Israel. She did her BSc in Physics and Mathematics summa cum laude in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she continued to do her PhD (after a break of one year at the Weizmann Institute), jointly in the Computer science and Physics departments.
In her PhD she discovered ways to make quantum computers noise tolerant. After a one year postdoc in the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton and one year in UC Berkeley, she joined the Hebrew University computer science department where she is now a full professor, and together with her group of students studies quantum computational processes. More generally, she is fascinated by mathematical beauty and its connection to the physical world.
She received several awards for her research work. Her other passion is body-mind processes, and in particular, martial arts. For the past 18 years she has been practicing and studying Tai-Chi, Yoga and Kung-Fu, and in addition has recently become a teacher in the Feldenkrais method of self improvement and awareness through movement. Other interests of hers include human rights, art, literature, being outdoors, hiking, inspiring human stories and human potential in general.
Truly thanks to the professor. Wonderful illustration.
What a great way of showing the practical applications of Feldenkrais to life. Thank you!
Very interesting. She clearly makes very pertinent and insightful analogies between physical and mental movement, which is one of the main foundations of Feldenkrais.
I find it ironic her mic is positioned completely improperly. Perhaps she can't hear the "P's" popping and the wind noise. But I wish I had her smarts.
That child learned an entire new way of moving without losing any bit of the fun he was having playing with bricks! Staggering demonstration of the intelligence that remains unexplored in the human body! This brilliant teacher is clairvoyant! She manages to instruct without once disturbing the child's comfort or concentration, rather cooperating with it. My first time seeing Kahneman's System one passively activated and co-opted into kinesthetic learning! Excellent talk!
I suppose this happens naturally because the child is unaware/unaffected by the physcial interventions. Do this to an older kid and they will react to it. I guess this will not work effectively when you're aware enough and react. Nevertheless: very interesting.
Absolutely wonderful! The principles themselves, the way you explained them, the example of practical application, and a ray of hope for all humans who, like me, keep trying to solve some “issue”, that damn “issue” that i want solved so urgently yet have not been able to solve for years, precisely because my urgency prevents play and creativity and that micro-shift in viewpoint that suddenly illuminates the pathway out. Fascinating subject delivered in an intelligent and memorable way. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Dorit. I truly enjoyed your presentation and learned a lot. Thank you again.
That was fascinating!! Thank you so much, I will be pondering this for a long time!
The points made in this talk are top notch; very informative
You are so inspiring! Thank you Dorit!
Instablaster.
That's a beautiful message in life. thank you Dorit :)
Woman when I heard you say the kick example I remembered people who helped me achieve what I achieved until know. Like my elementary school teachers, the other ones for example and friends whom I shared memories with. Back when I was a kid, I didn't realize how much time is required to reach where I am and the struggles I will be facing and overcoming or even run away from. Did I even pay attention to my mental energy? Now I am thinking from the other side of he the ongoing journey about what values I should have maintained and I could recover. And what mistakes I should have avoided or done for a greater sake.
Brilliant! so interesting that she took Feldenkrais back where he started....mathematics...

Thank you I enjoyed the talk very much and it really inspired me
Killer talk!!! Thank you.
a great and an ispiring motivating presentation . Thank you. Rikki Tel Aviv
moshe would be proud, thank you.
You mean Alexander of course.
WOW DORIT> EIZEH YOFI ! A great way to show an approach to life. I was inspired. I would lie to see more of your work in the field. NEHEDAR!
This is so interesting because the approach is an extremely "heady" one, unlike the much more physical approach I am accustomed to in Feldenkrais work....I suppose it makes sense for a person who is coming from the standpoint of quantum computation, but for me, a dancer/movement person this is almost other worldly! I'm having the hardest time making the physical connection.
Nice overlap with Vygotski's Zone of Proximal Development Theory.
it is amazing! how easy it is.
Interesting but will explore different presentations without the SO simple maths! seems that Alexander Technique and FULLy understood movement of flow in T'ai Chi Chuan & Qi Gong are companions.
Quante possibilita' abbiamo , meravigliose , ma cosa altro andiamo a cercare ?
Wah! Most inspiring and my one hour spent on computer on your talks is so valuable. If I need to ask questions, what email should be used? Pl guide me. May Lord Bless you to continue to deliver useful lectures
What a wonderful concept. Thank you.

Amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this helpful video! Is there a version with accurate captions or could you edit the autocaptions? The autocaptions are inaccurate in many places. I would like to recommend this to colleagues who have hearing impairments or auditory processing difficulties, but it would need accurate captions.
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful :-)
Wow very interesting talk! Thanks 😊
Agile (incremental) software development is perhaps another example.
brilliant woman
Thank you!
The audio is terrible.
These ads are far to too loud
2016, we have working quantum computers.
This came out four years ago genius...
And? I think you majorly misinterpreted my comment. Your username definitely outlines your personality type, especially when coupled with your comment. How did my comment in any way suggest that the video was released in 2016?
very poor example with a riddle... no any clear explanation... since the beginning we don't know what numbers are written on each side... i'm a feldenkrais practitioner myself and it's so sad to see that noone presents this methode simply and efficiently...
The riddle solves (0-6-7-8-2-1) (1-2-3-4-5-0) because the 2nd cube can alternate and assist completing the finale number sequences by being “first”.
.
.
I wrote it out on paper and all sequences were accounted for) - for example when you to “16” the second 6 sided die provides the “1” and the other 6 sided die provides the “6” and “9” as she eloquently expressed. She even follows the method by allowing us to come to the solution on our own.

MASTER TEACHER ALERT! Thank you for sharing this talk 🧬
your microphone noise is very distracting!!!
gREAT!
Too good mam
Super power.
This is exactly how copywriters and art directors work in the advertising world to come up with new ideas.
As a former nurse and painter/creative person -- she has made me realize that art & science are much closer than I thought.
Feldenkraise plagiarized Alexander Technique so the story goes. But then F. M. was a Delsarte teacher first.
The delivery is so poor it is a poor advertisement for this method.
Do you mean it's a thinly veiled attempt to advertise it or that it's giving the method a bad name? 🤔
This nice lady is trying to build Skynet.

Mis-titled video, and enormously boring. Feldenkrais begins at about 2/5 into the video.
Also, uses trickery. If she had said, and a 6 looks identical to an inverted 9, then one's thinking on solving this puzzle would have been different. For example, my written 6 looks different from my written inverted 9.
Also, there is no reason to believe her principles are best. Why not begin at an uncomfortable place instead?
I think 99% of the world would recognize an inverted 6 to be a 9. Her point is well made, applied to this example or world politics.
She never said that her principles were best. Just that they are an example of what has worked for her and may work for others. I found it to be extremely enlightening.
