https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8ixfqd Conductor of our body, the brain gradually reveals its secrets. Its involvement in all our actions and gestures, in our mood, in our likes and dislikes, in the reality of our daily life or even in our ability to invent fascinates scientists.
Once again, researchers, neurologists and other doctors, psychologists, writers, musicians and athletes will be present at Neuroplanète to share their experiences, discuss and confront their ideas.
Neuroplanète, the event dedicated to the brain and neurosciences organized by Point with the city of Nice, returns for its 8e edition on March 10 and 11 at the Mediterranean University Center.
The forum started with a special evening at the Galet du CHU de Nice on March 9th.
Find all the conferences of the event here, as well as on our social networks (Facebook, TwitterDailymotion).
3:31 p.m. – Read thoughts through brain imaging
With functional MRI, it is easy to highlight the areas of the brain that are activated according to the tasks performed, whether mental arithmetic, reading or other. From now on, it is possible to do the opposite, in particular thanks to artificial intelligence: to deduce a mental process from an image acquired with the same technology. For specialists, it is a great research tool.
Bertrand ThirionInria researcher at Neurospin, CEA Saclay, will discuss this subject with Guillaume Grallet, Science and Technology editor-in-chief.
3:29 p.m. – Screen workshop: parent/teen communication, instructions for use
Thanks to very innovative theater techniques, Violette and Garance help adults solve an insurmountable problem for many: the management of teenagers and their screens… ! Because from the public, placed in the position of actor, a collective intelligence is born. No moralization, only solutions for this workshop placed under the sign of fun and meaning!
By Valerie Piola-Caselli And Muriel Cauvinaka Violette and Garance, with the Dr Faredj Cherikhpsychiatrist at the University Hospital of Nice.
3:07 p.m. – Sport, a place to hide
“I come from an environment where sport is a tool to get by, to escape, to see something positive, because everything that happens around you is negative and impacts you, “says Victoria Ravva, volleyball champion.
2:57 p.m. – Mind hack
The trick of Fabrice Pellerin, head coach at Olympic Nice Natation and the most decorated French coach at the London Olympics (9 medals), to develop his mind: “By trying to create contexts, in training, around positive experiences, we will be able to teach the body and the mind to develop.”
2:51 p.m. – The mind according to Bertrand Delhom
What allows Bertrand Delhom, navigator suffering from Parkinson’s disease, to circumnavigate the world with the Neptune project? His mind: “It’s a big part of success, something essential.”
2:01 p.m. – Train your mind to shape your brain, with Mathieu Ricard
Attention, emotional balance, compassion and other human qualities can be cultivated and their development is accompanied by functional and structural transformations of the brain. Each type of training has a different brain signature. It is possible to distinguish between empathy and compassion and show that while empathy fatigue can lead to empathic distress and burnout, there is no compassion fatigue that is an antidote to burnout.
A fascinating exchange between Matthew Ricardlive from Nepal, doctor in cellular genetics, Buddhist monk, essayist and photographer, and Étienne Gernelle, director of Point.
12:47 – It’s time to get some strength…
Your brain has an appointment at 2 p.m. for an intensive training session with Matthieu Ricard!
12:17 p.m. – The brain at work
Our cognitive biases follow us everywhere, even at work. Knowing them better to fight or play with them can help, but not only.
Jean Daunizeau, researcher “Motivation, Brain and Behavior group” at the Brain Institute in Paris explains: “There is no simple answer. Cognitive biases are automatic natural responses of the brain and come from intuition. We have a critical opinion on our intuition when we have favorable mental dispositions for that. And there are unfavorable states for that, such as emotions, fatigue, stress.”
Conclusion: never make big decisions during intense fatigue.
You are in a meeting, or in the middle of a presentation. Around you, some seem to listen to you, others less so. What’s going on in their brains?

12:07 – The brain at mealtime (now what!)
Rule No. 1 for Sylvie Chokron, CNRS researcher at the “Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition” center, head of the Vision and Cognition unit at the Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital (Paris) and author of A day in Anna’s brain (Ed. Eyrolles 2020): at mealtime, “you have to do what you want to do, it’s the most important thing for your brain”.
But that’s not all ! The rest of the tips in the video.
11:59 – The brain on waking
Contrary to clichés, sleeping well is not at all a “question of the quantity of dreams, but is more linked to waking up and sleeping”, says Anaïs Roux, psychologist, creator of the Neurosapiens podcast and author of a book of the same name. (Les Arènes editions).
11:51 a.m. – 24 hours in the life of your brain (and ours)
It is a HQ which intervenes in each of our acts of daily life. Even if it does not explain all of our behaviors, the brain is always involved, whether it is to choose a food, make a purchase, procrastinate, fall in love, or even make any decision… Thanks to multiple studies, the neurosciences explain better and better our mental life, its articulation with our cerebral activity. They demonstrate how chemical or electrical reactions can lead to emotions, thoughts, perceptions or actions.
