Neuroscience is fascinating and spectacular – and this is what I deliver in my talks. Fresh, modern, entertaining. First-hand science, never seen before.

In doing so, I look behind the scenes of the most flawed but most creative structure on earth: the brain. I dig into the principles of our cognitive engine and decipher the secret thinking weapons to make use of the brain as we have never done before.

Brain vs. artificial intelligence

Who’s holding the upper hand?

• What sets real neuronal networks apart from artificial systems
• Hot to combine analog ideas with digitized technologies
• What’s giving human thinking the ultimate cognitive edge
• How we outperform artificial intelligence – and how we use it wisely
• Why “deep learning” is not enough and how “deep understanding” makes all the difference

Brain the Company

Analog thinking in a digital world

• Why the best ideas rise in an analog fashion
• How to support our thinking with digital technologies
• What makes a workspace “brainfriendly”
• How to make use of digital media and still keep the power of your brain

Biology of inspiration

How to think the impossible

• What is a flash of inspiration and what happens in the brain during a creative idea
• What features new ideas and why do they have to break with thinking patterns
• Why new perspectives catch our attention and lead us to witty ideas
• Which tricks we can use to attract ideas and present them to others
• What environment triggers unusual solutions and sparks a twist in our thinking

My talks are tailor-made to your event and can feature different main aspects:

Scientific emphasis

A special focus on the biological basis of our thinking gives you a detailed but comprehensive insight into our brain. Since every change starts with understanding, this perspective offers you a way to make use of our current knowledge of the brain – in order to leverage ideas, creativity or knowledge management in your daily life.

Entertaining emphasis

If you want to catch everybody’s attention or want to lighten up the atmosphere at your event, I can give an amusing impulse about the brain. More than pure entertainment but with an informative twist.

Practical emphasis

What about the best talks if you forget them right away? By a diverting but profound combination of cutting-edge neuroscience and daily questions, I leave an impact to tackle everyday problems and apply this knowledge. How to think more creatively? How to understand instead of learning something? How to behave smartly in a world of smart phones? Get inspired by the brain.
