events_olympiad15th International Brain HSP Olympiad and Olympiad Camp

August 12 / New York City,
United States
In commemoration of UN International Youth Day, the 5th International Brain HSP Olympiad (IHSPO) will be held on August 12 at the United Nations. IHSPO was created out of the necessity for a new olympiad that fits the 21st century—the century of the brain. It emphasizes the unlimited potential of the brain and fosters emerging 21st-century talent, which manifests the abilities associated with integrated brain utilization. The Olympiad also raises awareness that the brain is the key to the recovery of humanity.
events_olympiad2IHSPO participants compete not on their knowledge of facts but on the functioning of their neural systems and faculties. The Brain Window event tests the ability to perceive colors without ordinary visual sensory information. The Speed Brain event tests the ability to recognize and remember visual cues (colors, letters and symbols) in a fraction of a second. The HSP Gym Event challenges participants to hold demanding postures for extended periods, using motor systems and balance of the two hemispheres of the brain. In Body Sense Perception, contestants use subtle physical senses to identify liquids (water, juice or milk) without visual information. The IHSPO celebrates the integrated functioning of the brain itself, not just athleticism or knowledge. The IHSPO has been held annually since 2005.
This year, IHPSO will be celebrated in conjunction with the Brain Art Festival, occurring on August 15. Some activities and results of the Olympiad will be demonstrated at the festival.
Prior to the Olympiad, summer camp for children and adults is going to be held from August 8–11 at Honor’s Haven Resort and Spa to learn Brain Education through various activities.
