What happens when our brain loses its innate complexity? Neurosurgeon and Professor of Neurosurgery at NYU, Werner Doyle, knows that seizures happen from a loss of complexity in the brain. Driven to develop processes to promote and sustain complexity, Dr. Doyle addresses the value of complexity and how we may self-generate it.

Specializing in epilepsy surgery while collaborating with neuroscientists at NYU studying brain mechanisms, he is also quite the Renaissance man what with his interest in contemplative neuroscience, building Buckminster Fuller geodesic domes, and 3-D printing.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
