Homo Sapiens : les réseaux cérébraux de sa créativité élucidés | Marc VERIN | TEDxINSA Rennes
Favoriser l’émergence d’une idée neuve, détecter sa pertinence, décider de son application et maîtriser sa mise en œuvre sont les étapes indispensables de la créativité. Les données neuroscientifiques récentes apportent les preuves qu’elles sont redevables de la collaboration de larges réseaux cérébraux. C’est grâce à l’électroencéphalogramme de Haute Résolution (EEG-HR - 246 électrodes), imagerie cérébrale fonctionnelle de dernière génération, que la dynamique de ces circuits a pu être élucidée. Comprendre comment le cerveau d’Homo Sapiens fonctionne lors des processus créatifs, tel est le défi que tente de relever le Pr Marc Vérin lors de cette conférence TEDx. Le Pr Marc Vérin, neurologue et neuroscientifique, est Vice-Président du Directoire en charge de la Recherche du CHU d’Orléans. Après ses études à la Salpêtrière auprès du Pr Yves Agid, il a fondé le Centre Expert Parkinson de Bretagne, a créé et dirigé l’Unité de recherche « Comportement et Noyaux gris Centraux » au sein de l’Université de Rennes puis à rejoint le CHU d’Orléans dès sa création. Il a créé l’unité de recherche « Brain-Clinical & Experimental Neuroplasticty » (B-CLINE) de l’Université d’Orléans. Il est à l’origine d’une plateforme multimodale unique d’étude du fonctionnement du cerveau humain, intégrant l’EEG-HR. Alliant une excellente résolution temporelle (1 ms) et une très bonne résolution spatiale (qq mm), cette nouvelle imagerie fonctionnelle cérébrale autorise désormais l’observation des réseaux cérébraux à large échelle chez l’homme, en particulier dans le domaine complexe de la créativité. Le Professeur Marc Vérin a rejoint le CHU d’Orléans dans ses qualités et fonctions de « Vice-Président du Directoire en charge de la Recherche ». Neurologue, spécialiste de la maladie de Parkinson, fondateur du Centre Expert Parkinson - Bretagne, il a créé et dirigé l’Unité de recherche « Comportement et Noyaux gris Centraux » au sein de l’Université de Rennes puis a rejoint l’Inserm. Passionné de Lettres, l’intérêt de Marc Vérin s’est tout naturellement porté vers l’organe de la pensée qu’est le cerveau. Au cours de ses études de Médecine, son passage comme Externe puis Interne au sein de l’équipe du Pr Yves Agid à l’Hôpital de la Salpêtrière l’a très tôt amené à s’intéresser à la prise en charge de la maladie de Parkinson et à se passionner pour la Recherche en Neurosciences.
Sa mission dans le plus récent CHU de France : développer la recherche clinique en lien avec les unités de recherche fondamentale de l’Université d’Orléans, les structures publiques et privées régionales, en particulier les groupements hospitaliers de territoire de la région Centre Val de Loire, et les grands organismes nationaux. Outre les dimensions de recherche et d’enseignement, indispensables à un CHU, il a également pour mission de participer au développement du service de Neurologie et de l’unité de recherche « Brain-Clinical & Experimental Neuroplasticty » (B-CLINE) de l’Université d’Orléans. C’est dans ce dessein qu’une plateforme multimodale unique d’étude du fonctionnement du cerveau humain va voir le jour, intégrant l’EEG de Haute Résolution (256 électrodes). Alliant une excellente résolution temporelle (1 ms) et une très bonne résolution spatiale (qq mm), cette nouvelle imagerie fonctionnelle cérébrale autorise désormais l’observation des réseaux cérébraux à large échelle chez l’homme, en particulier dans le domaine complexe de la créativité.

- 12:54The Grit To Be Persistent (Lì Lợm Lên!) | Ngoc Thanh Tam | TEDxFPTUniversityHCMCNgoc Thanh Tam’s talk was both heartfelt and humorous, centered on her lifelong “stubborn” persistence. From practicing perfect handwriting as a child, to insisting on learning music at age three, to facing harsh criticism yet persisting in her artistic path, her story embodied resilience. For her, persistence is not obstinacy, but belief in oneself. She reminded us that going all the way can be as simple as telling yourself every day, “I can do it,” and holding on to your dream with unwavering determination. Ngọc Thanh Tâm is a talented actress and a prominent producer in Vietnam, known for her impressive performances in films such as "Tâm Sắc Tấm", "Thạch Sanh Lý Thanh", and especially her leading role in "Đảo của dân ngụ cư" - a film that represented Vietnam at various international film festivals.Breaking beyond the boundaries of acting, Ngọc Thanh Tâm continues to challenge herself in multiple roles - from a content creator with nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers to a standout performer on the reality show "Chị Đẹp Đạp Gió Rẽ Sóng 2024", where she demonstrated her courage and breakthrough spirit to reach the finals.Beyond the stage, she has also won over television audiences through the show "Gia Đình Haha", alongside Jun Phạm, Rhymastic, Bùi Công Nam anh Duy Khánh, spreading positivity with the song "Những ngày trời bao la". Her down-to-earth, hardworking image has helped break the stereotype of the “heiress,” revealing a more relatable, genuine, and energetic side of herself.

- 16:02The Unfinished Self | Augustine Khoa Nguyen | TEDxFPTUniversityHCMCHaving once reached the heights of success, Dr. Khoa candidly admitted to feeling empty and “unfinished” inside. He chose to leave behind past glory - not to escape, but to evolve into a different version of himself. In his talk, he redefined “all the way” as not a straight line to the finish, but the willingness to embrace multiple cycles of renewal. Each new beginning becomes an opportunity to learn from the old self and grow into something deeper. With the philosophy of Sisu - quiet courage - he emphasized that the greatest bravery is not in finishing, but in daring to begin again, even when no one expects you to.

He has worked in Vietnam and Finland, and collaborated with major partners from Japan and around the world.Augustine’s career is marked by his leadership of multi-billion-dollar urban development projects in Vietnam. He has also led cross-functional teams across investment, R&D, design, business, and marketing.Dr. Khoa earned a Doctor of Science degree in Strategy and Entrepreneurship from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

- 17:39Why Are You Here? | Bach Vu | TEDxFPTUniversityHCMCBach Vu took the audience on an emotional journey, beginning with his bold decision to leave a stable finance career and pursue art - a turning point that was both terrifying and liberating. He posed a profound question: “Why are you here?” not just in the room, but on this planet, in this lifetime. Drawing from his own experiences, Bach Vu challenged the stereotype that Gen Z is “lazy,” affirming instead that today’s youth carry the weight of the past while holding the keys to the future. To go all the way, he argued, is to dare to ask the hard questions and step into “the arena of life” with courage, rather than remain a passive observer. Bach Vu (Mark Vu) is a prominent figure in the new generation of Vietnamese artists, known for his unique visual language. After more than 10 years of establishing his career in finance in the UK, Bach Vu decided to return to Vietnam to pursue his passion for painting from 2021 to the present.In his artistic journey, Bach Vu won an award at the 7th Young Fine Arts Festival and had his work shortlisted for the UOB Painting of the Year Vietnam 2024. In addition to creating art, he also participates in art editing, demonstrating his thinking and ability to arrange professional display spaces.He sees painting as a way to "reach out and touch his soul," a choice that brings true happiness rather than just material success. His works are imbued with his own personality, reflecting the identity of a Vietnamese artist who is confidently living and working in a globalized and 'flat' environment, while also reflecting the process of searching for the artistic voice of a young intellectual.

- 24:00Don't Give Up | Hans Nguyen | TEDxFPTUniversityHCMCWith a grounded and practical spirit, Hans Nguyen inspired perseverance through familiar examples: Samsung once started as a grocery store, Vingroup with instant noodles, and FPT as a food processing company.
