  • NOTE FROM TED: Research discussed in this talk remains an ongoing field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
    Neuroscience technology has long been locked away in research laboratories and in the basements of hospitals. However, recent technological advances have changed this. For instance, it is now possible to measure someone's brain waves with an electroencephalographic system built into a pair of glasses. By combining mathematical analysis with this new technology, Dr. Olav Krigolson has been able to take on a range of projects where he has gone out into the real world to take a peek at what’s going on inside peoples' brains.
    Dr. Olav E. Krigolson is one of the world’s top neuroscientists in the field of mobile EEG and recently led a Canadian team on a mission in the HISEAS Mars Habitat. His research uses leading-edge technology to solve real world problems and has been featured on the Discovery Channel and CBC’s Quirks and Quarks. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I'm really looking forward to seeing what other kinds of inventions come out for looking at our brainwaves and frequencies!

    Neuroscience is something every pocket of our earth could benefit from - it would really make our potential seem limitless!

    What a fantastic talk. In less than 10 minutes I went to space, eat freeze dried food, had a mini shower and learned about chronic fatigue, ty Dr Olav.

    Yes, please! If we could start normalizing dialogue about our brains that would be fantastic. I'm so sick of it being reserved for conversations about neuro-divergence - even though that's important too - but our brains are so amazing! We should be talking and wondering about them so much more

    Thank you Olva! Thank you for bringing all of this to a public forum. Much to learn.

    I guess we all know when we are tired, but we often just brush it off. Having a means to physically test how tired you are would really make so many of us stop and address our needs.

    The music comparison was very helpful for understanding this! fascinating stuff, Olav.

  • @dirkrenns

    Oh I love the way he compares the brain frequency patterns to music. So beautiful and really helped to make it understandable.

  • @zackpinonet

    So many benefits to this kind of tech I really think this stuff is just the beginning in terms of how we'll monitor our brain activity

  • @my-own-boss
    @my-own-boss Год назад

    I agree Olav! The brain is it! If more people understood they had the power to reshape their brain and the power it actually holds, we would all be a lot better for it.

    I'm not surprised to hear that nurses and doctors were tired before their shifts, that seems like a profession where you just don't ever get to fully unwind and relax

  • @georgecox2933

    Neuroscience just even as a word sounds so complex and difficult, I think bringing it outside the lab and allowing anyone and everyone to learn about it is just brilliant!

  • @elaineclouston
    @elaineclouston Год назад

  • @finntwebster
    @finntwebster Год назад +1

    There was a TV advertisement recently that compared driving with "cognitive fatigue" to being drunk at the wheel. So it's a danqerous state to be in and we don't always know when we're in it

    @sophiawalters6908 Год назад

    I get what he's saying and I can see where it would be useful to decide if someone can do a task based on a mathematically deduced measurement of their tiredness... but I feel like within that there's no space for assessing how competent a person is, how much of their work is muscle memory and all that stuff?

    • @themighty1174

    Surely around the 7:30 mark he doesn't mean that the ONLY indication they had of being tired was the maths? Like... how do you not just, KNOW that you're tired.
