The power of one thought, he reminds us, can illuminate not just a mind, but the world. Dr Mohit D Gupta currently working as Professor of cardiology in GB Pant Hospital and Medical Suptd of Cardiac Sciences. Dr Gupta was recently honored with “Excellence in Cardiology 2018” award by Honorable Minister of Health and Family welfare (Mr J P Nadda). For his excellent research in genetics, he was awarded Bishan Swaroop young scientist of the year award 2018 by Hon’ble Vice President of India.Dr Gupta has been associated with Brahma Kumaris world spiritual university from his childhood (more than 36 years) and practices rajayoga meditation daily. He has blended scientific evidence of spirituality in his lectures.

情報過多に疲弊する現代人。通知に溢れるスマートフォンは悩ましいが、かといって情報を絶つ「デジタルデトックス」も反動を生みやすく、持続性に乏しい。そんな矛盾に向き合いながらも、人生を変える情報との出会いを信じたい。そこで注目すべきが、視覚を奪わず、他の動作をしながら聴くことができる音声メディア、ポッドキャスト。そしてそれは、「偶然性」を日常にもたらす可能性を秘めている。Modern life is saturated with information, leaving many exhausted. Smartphones, overflowing with notifications, are a constant source of stress—yet cutting off information entirely through digital detoxes often leads to rebound and lacks sustainability. Still, there remains a desire to believe in encounters with transformative information. One promising medium is the podcast—an audio format that doesn't demand our eyes and can be consumed while engaging in other activities. Crucially, it holds the potential to reintroduce serendipity into our daily lives. Takafumi Nomura. Graduated from the Faculty of Letters, The University of Tokyo. After working at PHP Institute, Inc., Boston Consulting Group, and NewsPicks, he founded the podcast production label Chronicle in 2022. He has produced numerous audio programs in the fields of business, economics, and liberal arts. 野村 高文。東京大学文学部卒。PHP研究所、ボストン・コンサルティング・グループ、ニューズピックスを経て、2022年にPodcast制作レーベルChronicleを設立。ビジネス・経済・教養分野の音声番組を多数制作。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

リンゴは本当に赤い？隣の芝生はなぜ青い？そんな日常の疑問にも鋭く切り込みます。冒頭では、あなたの“常識”を根底から揺るがす「見えるはずのないものが見える？！」まさかの錯視体験をカメラの前で実演！ 実は、私たちが見ている世界、美味しいと感じる味、美しいと思う景色、それら全てが、脳が生み出す“ある一定のルール”――たった一つの驚くほどシンプルな比較の法則――に支配されているとしたら、信じられますか？ この法則を知れば、なぜ人が特定のものに惹かれ、時に誤解するのか、その理由が見えてくるかもしれません。 気鋭の心理学者が、長年の研究と数々の実験データに基づき、誰もが「え、そんな単純なことだったの？！」と目からウロコが落ちる、脳と知覚の驚異的なメカニズムを徹底解説します。難解な専門用語は一切なし！あなたもきっと誰かに話したくなるはず。 この動画を見終えた後、あなたはもう昨日と同じ目で世界を見ることはできないかもしれません。日常の風景、アート作品への感動、食べ物の味わい、さらには自分自身の感情や他人の評価に対する捉え方まで、ガラリと変わる可能性があります。情報に惑わされず本質を見抜く目、そして日々の小さな変化を楽しむ心の余裕が生まれる、そんな知的エンターテイメントをお届けします！騙されたと思って、一度ご覧ください。驚きの連続で、あなたの知的好奇心が止まらなくなること間違いなし！ Is an apple really red? Why does the grass always seem greener on the other side? This talk dives sharply into such everyday mysteries. It begins by shaking the very foundation of your “common sense” with a live, mind-bending optical illusion—something you shouldn’t be able to see, but somehow can!What if the world you see, the flavors you savor, and the beauty you feel—all of it—were governed by one simple rule created by your brain? A single, astonishingly simple law of comparison that shapes your entire perception of reality.Once you understand this rule, you may finally see why people are drawn to certain things—or why they sometimes misunderstand others. A cutting-edge psychologist, drawing on years of research and countless experiments, unpacks the incredible mechanisms of the brain and perception that will make you exclaim, “Wait, it’s that simple?!”No difficult jargon—just clear, captivating insights that you’ll want to share with everyone. By the end of this video, you may never see the world the same way again. Your view of everyday scenes, your emotional reactions to art, the way you taste food, even how you perceive your own feelings or others’ opinions—all of it could shift dramatically. This is intellectual entertainment that sharpens your ability to see through illusion and appreciate subtle changes in life with new clarity and curiosity. Once you start watching, your curiosity won’t stop! Specializing in cognitive science and psychophysics, his annual Introduction to Psychology is a popular lecture attended by approximately 1,000 students from all disciplines. Based on the content of this lecture, he will use examples of illusions he himself has discovered to explore the laws of perception that lie at the "root of the mind" from a special perspective. 東京大学教授。認知科学・精神物理学を専門とし、毎年開講する心理学概論は文理を問わず約1000人が受講する人気講義。今回はその内容をもとに、先生ご自身が発見した錯覚の実例を交え、「心の根っこ」にある知覚の法則に特別な視点から迫っていただく。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

私たちの「感じる力」と物理的な世界をつなぎ、モノや体験をより豊かにする——それが感性設計学です。柳澤秀吉（東京大学）は、錯覚や予測する脳の仕組みを数理モデルで解き明かし、人の心を動かすデザインの可能性を語ります。How can we design objects and experiences that truly move the human heart? Hideyoshi Yanagisawa (The University of Tokyo) introduces Sensory Design Science — a field that bridges human perception and physical reality using mathematical models of the brain’s predictions and surprises. He advocates “Kansei Design Studies,” a new field that extends the scope of engineering design to human sensitivity. Kansei Design Studies, which extends the scope of engineering design to human sensibility, is being proposed and developed as a new field of study. It is characterized by an approach that mathematically models sensitivity This approach is characterized by its ability to mathematically model sensitivity from the principles of the brain, He is developing socially collaborative research that applies this approach. 東京大学工学系研究科准教授。東京大学大学総合教育研究センター准教授を兼務。 エンジニアリングデザインの対象を人の感性にまで拡張した「感性設計学」を提唱し、新分野として開拓している。 脳の原理から感性を数学的にモデル化するアプローチを特徴とし、それを応用した社会連携研究を展開している。 日本感性工学会副会長。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
