TedXSalon On The Brain And Consciousness at Kanbar Center for the Performing Arts
Date: Thursday, June 6, 2019
Time: 6:30pm-9:45pm
Phone: 415-444-8000
The Osher Marin JCC is honored to be the host sponsor for this heady and heartfelt TEDxSalon on The Brain and Consciousness. This salon will explore the latest research on meditation, dementia, and consciousness itself. Remarkable new evidence will be shared about what happens in the brain (second by second) when we bring focus inward, and why it’s so beneficial. We’ll also explore how and if consciousness remains when the wiring breaks down, as in Alzheimer’s, and we’ll discuss our understanding of the age-old question, “what IS consciousness?”
At a TEDxSalon, the format is lecture style. We go deep into one specific TOPIC, with insights from leaders in their field. These salons promote thoughtful inquiry, broadened points of view, and time for a moderated Question and Answer segment between our featured speakers and the audience.
