It is also believed that the human brain activity while dance freestyling is equivalent to that of a Ph.D. scientist solving some quantum physics hardest problem. Is that true? In his talk, Bogdan from his personal experience will discuss how a dance background is helpful in solving further math problems. He assumes that it comes from the way dancers process the music while freestyling. Imagine you don't know the song, but your brain analyzes it and recalls algorithms of the music you have already listened to, then makes you choose which type of move to insert to that particular sound. Almost sounds like solving integrals, right? Student at School of Sciences and Humanities in Nazarbayev University. He is a professional hip-hop dancer representing Kazakhstan on the world stage.
