Theme: Catching the Ripples

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).

Chalida Kunalai

She revealed powerful facts about scents and their ability to bring memories back to life. As smelling is the only sense which its reception is directly connected to the brain, the scent that one perceives is not logically rocessed. As a result, smells might let us travel back in time, remind us of someone, stimulate some feeling or even trigger our imagination far beyond what we might expect. This talk introduces some tips on how to make the best use of our nose and will leave us thinking of it in a whole new light."
