Dr Guy-Paul Gagné

With the advance of brain imaging and EEG, neuroscience is now making progress faster then ever before. We are entering a new era where science is discovering that the power of dynamism in the brain originates from its capacity to return to orderly silence, and that transcending may be the key to unlock its full potential.
During this presentation we will review and present, in simple terms, some key new concepts of EEG, Brain Integration and the Default Mode Network.

Dr Gagné is a medical doctor. He has 30 years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and research in the field of obstetric and gynaecology, and stress management. He has lectured extensively on the subjects of maternity care, and the scientific research validating the Transcendental Meditation technique and its use in education and stress management. He is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, McGill University and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada.

In 2006, with the Honourable Clarence Cormier, former Education Minister of New Brunswick, he helped found the Canadian Association for Stress-Free Schools, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting programs that promote the health, happiness, and full development of every student.
