self-improvement.

Empowering
your brain

Neurohacker is the new sexy.
What does this actually mean?

Well, in the last century the world began to understand the benefits of adopting healthy habits, like physical exercises and balanced nutrition. However, the revolution of this century is taking place inside of the most complex and fascinating part of us: the human brain.

With the modern knowledge science has being able to provide us with, human beings are able to employ strategies and techniques that can help us to move from unconscious and dysfunctional behaviors to a higher level of awareness and optimal performance of our neuro-cognitive capacities, improving our own well-being and our interactions with others.

Join us, and learn how - through a collection of skills and tools - you can consciously spark a positive personal revolution.

Meet the speakers

Our favorite way to increment our critical thinking and expand our perspectives on challenging subjects is to be surrounded by as many interesting people as possible.
People with valuable experiences, that bring provocative questions and make us explore paths we had never thought of before.

Nilson Porto

Nilson is an independent Cognitive Neuroscience researcher with a distinctive approach to the study of the formation of “False Memories” and how they interfere with our Decision-Making Processes.

After more than a decade working in academia and education, he became frustrated by the inflexibility and corporatism of these conventional systems; so, he decided to leave Brasil and travel the world for a year, visiting many non-conventional educational projects worldwide.

At the end of his journey, Nilson began creating what he expects will be the world’s biggest digital platform (in the Portuguese Language) for Neurocognitive Enhancement. By teaching people how to use neuro-hacking techniques he hopes to help them to change their lives for better; all you need is to bring your brain!

An immersive journey

Stretch and get ready. In this 4-day workshop, you will experience a full journey through key moments that provoke, demystify, and break illusions about the human behaviour and decision-making processes.

From possible internal and external scenarios that could directly affect the course of our lives as a whole, you will be challenged to explore perspectives and make strategic decisions about the present and future of your perception of reality.

Cognitive Neuroscience Fundamentals

Saturday 29th February

Knowing the principles of survival and genetic perpetuation, the evolutionary function of stress, the chemical language of the brain by neurotransmitters for Homeostasis, the evolution of brain structures and their functions is becoming almost the new alphabet for the better understanding of the human behaviors.

Designing a remarkable flow-state-centered strategy through integrated experiences is crucial in setting the tone and quality of our future way of living. Are you ready to take this first step? From case studies and simulations, we will provoke your critical thinking about the role of our neural networks on human’s decision-making processes.

  • Main Outcomes

  • Understand the main baselines and frameworks of the functions of our brain;
  • Explore and prototype mechanisms for reach the flow state through Neurohacking.

Neurohacking for self-improvement

Saturday 7th March

Daily habits are essential in determining how people learn, develop and grow, both personally and professionally. No matter if you are a freelancer or a leader, you should practice continuous and healthy development for you and your team. Why? Well, time is one of the most precious assets we have, if we are under performing because of procrastination, unhealthy cycles or lack of attention, we are putting our work at risk. To make this evolution possible, it is important to understand the correlation between investing energy in our self-development and its impact on the whole business.

  • Main Outcomes

  • Get to know different Neurohacking strategies and how to apply them in your daily life;
  • Understand and prototype precise schedules to change bad habits for new, healthy ones: in your diet, exercise routines, and mental management practices.

Social Neuroscience Fundamentals

Saturday 28th March

The old paradigms about our perception, memory and communication are falling apart. New scientific discoveries are allowing us to reframe our understanding of human behaviors, the unconscious mind is the new star. Once we understand it better we can improve our communication skills by being more intuitive and using empathy in a more accurate way.

By understanding group intelligence, we can exploit the potential of our interactions with others, getting better results in our personal and professional life. At this moment, we will encourage you to think about how work routines can be great opportunities for self-development and how they can act as a cultural tool for enhancing work well-being.

  • Main Outcomes

  • Reflect on conditions that can foster people’s mutual understandings, better communication and well-being;
  • Understand and prototype workspaces that reflect and reinforce the deeper comprehension of the non-verbal communication which influences the human behaviors.

Social Neuroscience in Relationships & Organisations

Saturday 4th April

Your attitude when someone decides to contradict you is important for them and for those who witnesses the situation, especially if they may experience a similar situation with you in the future.

Human communication is a never-ending story, a permanent challenge involving a continuous change of characters and scenarios.

Knowing the 4 common personalities involved in a dialogue and creating a transparent and strategic way to deal with conflicts is essential and implies a constant exercise of empathy and a commitment to your role of mutual responsibility for common well-being.

  • Main Outcomes

  • Understand how negotiation reflects the most basic human instincts;
  • Prototype ways of creating safe spaces for more accurate communication and mutual growth.
