ekkolápto's mindSpace (Cognitive Innovation and Augmentation Workshop)
ekkolápto's mindSpace–exploration and experimentation of the mind.
Join us for an open source experiment to boost memory, sharpen visualization skills, augment perception, and access longer and fuller lives through mental training and meditation. We'll be rolling up our sleeves and getting hands-on experience inventing and using ‘psychotechnology,’ like meditative techniques designed to enhance cognition. This is the scene for innovators who realize that our minds are the greatest limiting factor on our potential.
This workshop brings together powerful ideas and practices such as:
Mathematician William Thurston’s attempt to visualize four spatial dimensions.
Nikola Tesla’s practiced computer-like simulation ability.
A rich history of advanced meditative practices and mental training from around the world.
Participants can use these concepts and more to innovate in entirely new ways of thinking, problem-solving, mental training, or adapting these practices to new communities.
mindSpace is a collaborative journey into the future of how we will think, perceive, and engage with the world around us. Fuel your mind and body with delicious food and drinks as you collaborate with fellow pioneers in the field. Bring your curiosity and creativity and let's unlock new possibilities for the mind!
