Habits are not just psychological, they are also neurological. And as such, the neurological pathways can often be quite “fixated”, “habituated”….STUCK. The good news is that there are safe, fast acting, efficient, non-drug, non-invasive ways to “unstick a stuck brain”. Garnet Dupuis is a Canadian innovator and creator of neuroVIZR, a light and sound technology designed to support brain wellness and enhance creativity. Garnet brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective to the field of consciousness exploration, neurological science, neuroplasticity, and brain signal variability. Driven by insatiable curiosity and a profound respect for both science and nature, Garnet’s work bridges ancient wisdom and modern
technology. As a visionary thinker and wellness pioneer, Garnet continues to challenge conventional boundaries, inspiring others to explore new ways of understanding and optimizing the human brain.

- 10:37Curiosity and the Cat | Tessa Parker | TEDxUC IrvineTessa Parker explores the beauty and frustration of the unknown, from the mystery of consciousness to the vastness of infinity. She reflects on how questions without answers can cause anxiety, but also fuel endless curiosity. Drawing from science, philosophy, and personal experience, Tessa makes a case for embracing uncertainty as a catalyst for growth. In a world full of unknowables, the pursuit of knowledge itself is what keeps us moving forward. Currently studying neurobiology at UCI (on exchange) as a recipient of the Fulbright Killam fellowship, she's interested in all things to do with the brain and health policy. Back home in Toronto, she is the president of her school's Pre-Medical society and in 2023, revived a non-profit in her hometown of Edmonton, which serves and connects with the homeless community on Sunday evenings every week. She hopes to pursue an MD-PhD, advocating for free and accessible healthcare along the way.
