Lecture: "The Brain and Information"

The human brain was not originally designed to process the enormous amount of information we encounter in today’s world thanks to advances in digital and multimedia technologies. This leads to information stress, which negatively affects productivity, quality of life, and mental health. Professor Aleksandr Kaplan, a specialist in psychophysiology, will examine how the brain copes with this stress and how we can help it. The discussion will include whether developed intelligence makes people more vulnerable to stress compared to animals. The lecture will also provide advice on recognizing the first symptoms of information overload and ways to reduce it. In addition, we’ll discuss whether it’s possible to use the brain’s stress responses to our advantage. Participants will be able to assess their stress level using scientific methods and ask questions to the expert. Professor Kaplan emphasizes how important it is to understand the impact of information stress on our intelligence in order to support longevity and clarity of mind. Aleksandr Kaplan is a recognized expert, a laureate of prestigious awards, and a regular speaker in educational programs.
