"On Memory and Mindfulness" : TEDx Talk

 

In 2016 I was given the opportunity to give a TEDx Talk about Hyperthymesia, memory, mindfulness, and my own journey.
This was the first talk staged in 360 virtual reality. Watch on Youtube to explore my studio and listen to the talk.

 

Does your mind sometimes feel so cluttered that you're too distracted to stay present in your own life? Researcher Nima Veiseh, who has been diagnosed with a highly superior memory, offers his techniques for tuning in to what's important and finding harmony -- even when your brain hits sensory overload.

The TED community will be releasing its first talk staged in 360 virtual reality.  This ground breaking format gives the viewer the ability to immerse themselves in the mind and workshop of the speaker, giving them active access to not only what the speaker wants you to see, but that the speak is seeing and interacting with as well. This interdisciplinary approach, which in this first case combines science, art and psychology, gives the viewer the opportunity to see and think in more dimensions than afforded by the old 2-dimensional format.
