Olissipo #8

Why does it take so long to become an expert musician or athlete? What it is that practice is making better? What is the role of verbal instruction in acquiring motor skills? Can we physically recover from a brain injury? And eventually what is the connection between brain health, aging and movement? Those are some of the questions we will be answering to with Doctor John Krakaeur a neuroscientist, Director of the Brain Learning Animation Mouvement Lab (BLAM) who has been analysing physical movement and brain activity during decades. Olissipo is the opposite of a top-down conference. Instead it's an open conversation with a very knowledgeable person. It is the reason why there are very few places since it's happening in my place in Lisbon but also because I want for everyone to feel safe asking questions and participate. Please bring food or drinks if you fancy to share.
