Worldwide appearance of Boris N. Konrad on the Deutsche Welle

For many Germans who live and work abroad, the Deutsche Welle (DW) is an established term and an integral part of their daily media information. The Deutsche Welle is the Federal Republic of Germany’s international broadcasting service which broadcasts world-wide and apart from radio and internet also provides TV coverage in English, German and other languages. Recently, Global Topspeaker and holder of the world record in memorizing names and faces, Dr. Boris Nikolai Konrad, has made an appearance in DW TV’s popular series „ingoodshape“.

Dr. Boris Nikolai Konrad is a neuroscientist and memory coach. He works in the field of neuroimaging at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour in Nijmegen (Netherlands) where he researches the neuronal basics of extraordinary memory performance. He is familiar with the processes of thinking and knows how those change under varying conditions. During the show, the viewers, for instance from India or Brazil, were given the opportunity to ask questions. How to improve one’s memorizing capacity in general and how to keep your brain fit was of particular interest.

The Global Topspeaker recommended refraining from transferring all and everything to technologies such as navigation systems or mobile phones. In the TV interview, he stated that illustrative stories are extremely helpful: A name such as Carsten Lekutat is thus turned into a racing car with a ten painted on it, and a cute tattoo. Movement is also good for the brain. Taking a little stroll is enough. You can even use the walk to memorize things by way of a story that is linked to distinctive spots. When recalling the walk, the story and all the corresponding information will pop into your mind again, explains the Global Topspeaker.
