BRAIN BAR - 2023 - FUTURE-PROOF

Brain Bar is Europe's largest future festival, where the audience can discuss the most pressing questions of the 21st century together with domestic and international scientists, politicians, business leaders and cultural figures. International speakers who have appeared on its stages include psychologist Jordan Peterson, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell, Sophia the world's first humanoid robot, and Jacqueline Fuller, Vice President at Google.

Alongside such top-tier speakers (and even humanoid robots), at this year's Brain Bar conference I spoke with Kata Stumpf, head of the Konnekt Association (and, incidentally, a nine-time Hungarian national and Masters world champion synchronized swimmer), about digital health solutions, biosensor devices, and everyday 'biohacking' practices that can help all of us live a healthier, more conscious and more complete life – whether it comes to sustainable physical and mental performance, an optimal lifestyle, sport, studies, professional career, or private life.

The topic of our conversation was drawn both from the story behind my book Run, Believe, Live and from my forthcoming book Super Sapiens, a preview of which everyone interested got a taste of at yesterday's Brain Bar talk. (More details soon at tberci.hu and on the RUN, BELIEVE, LIVE Foundation's Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages.)

Among other things, we talked about sensor rings and gloves, a biosensor for monitoring blood sugar levels, learning about our own genetic makeup, and the FirstBeat wearable ECG solution, which we 'hacked' onto me right before the talk with the help of Gergő Vada, vice president of the Hungarian Sleep Society.

Beyond all the health- and performance-related 'hacking', it was a great feeling to connect with so many acquaintances, colleagues, friends, fellow patients and fellow athletes, and with such an enthusiastic, conscious, determined group of people wanting to do something for their future and for their fellow human beings – just like the crowd that gathered at this year's Brain Bar conference.
