Sessions

Endless meetings, deadlines, and countless notifications lead to work stress. But what can you do about it? By showing what happens in the brain during stress, Erik shares in his lecture how to reduce work stress and keep it separate from your private life. As a neurologist, he has plenty of experience with this and can tell you a lot about it.

"To limit the effects of the coronavirus on public health as much as possible, we are staying at home." And it seemed like that would last for a while.

But precisely that staying at home can contribute to weakening the resistance to viruses (our immune system). Worldwide, we were already inactive, and during the pandemic even more so! Less movement not only affects our immune system but also causes stress and less sleep. What can we do about this? Erik will share that in his lecture.

We are not only becoming lazier but also dumber. Does your memory suffer if you spend too much time behind your computer? Erik talks about the effect of movement on the brain and highlights the importance of vitality, even in the workplace.

The brain is just like a computer: it has a power button, a large storage capacity, and sometimes needs an update. In this session, Erik shares the manual for your brain.

It is clear that physical activity can have an effect on your mood. But are there further-reaching effects? Your behavior influences your mental health. Erik teaches you how to deal with this so that you feel good both at work and at home.

Music activates our entire brain. It is one of the most powerful means to evoke emotions. Why does a song make us happy, active, or just calm? In this lecture, Erik will show what the effect of music in the brain is.
