This lecture will introduce our research on world-class
performers and describe how their brain function is different
from the brains of average performers. No surprise there. But
what is surprising is that regardless of whether these top
performers are athletes, musicians, or CEOs, their brains share
one feature that makes them stand out: more integrated
functioning. Their brains work in a more coherent, relaxed,
wakeful, and efficient way. Other features these top performers
have in common include intensely happy and fulfilling peak
experiences and a greater moral sense. The presentation also
introduces how we all can effortlessly develop greater brain
integration.
Dr. Harald S. Harung is an interdisciplinary researcher on peak
performance at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway, where
he was for many years teaching “Leadership, ethics, and world-
class performance” to classes of up to 500 students.
As a student, Harald was a high performer in the sport of
orienteering. He holds a PhD from the University of Manchester
and has worked as a researcher at Oxford University, naval
officer, CEO of an engineering company, and president of an
international business college.
Harald and Dr. Fred Travis from Maharishi International University in the US were the first researchers in the world to find a brain-basis of high performance. Harald has published over 50 papers and five books, and lectures worldwide.
