Nootropia, the story of an idea | Nikolaos Nanas | TEDxLarissa

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Nikolaos is describing his life's idea and how he managed to go forward actualizing it. He changed professions in order to conceptualize that idea. He explains how mentality is very important in order to reach your goals. Nkolaos Nanas studied as a civil engineer and got a Phd in Artificial Intelligence from the Knowledge Media Institute in the U.K. He has taught artificial intelligence at the University of Thessaly and he is an entrepreneur with his latest startup "noowit". He developed a model where information is being filtered and adapted according to the various and constant changing interests of a human being. About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
