Herbert Nitsch is the current freediving world record champion and "the deepest man on earth". This prestigious title was given to him, when he set the current world record for freediving at an incredible depth of 214 meters in 2007 ("No limits" discipline). So far Herbert has set 31 world records in all 8 of the 8 recognized disciplines and can hold his breath for more than 9 minutes - unrivalled achievements in the freediving history.

www.tedxvienna.at www.facebook.com Moritz Helmstaedter is a neuroscientist dedicated to mapping connectomes, the complex networks of nerve cells in the brain. A medical doctor and physicist by training, Moritz completed his doctoral thesis with Nobel laureate Bert Sakmann at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. During his post-doctoral work, together with Winfried Denk and Kevin Briggman, he developed methods to map nerve cell networks using electron microscopes and computer analysis tools. This is making it possible for the first time to decipher large complex networks in the brain at single-cell resolution. He is currently setting up his own laboratory at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Munich, where he aims to understand the computations in sensory cortex, and to unravel what distinguishes a human brain from, say, that of a mouse, at the structural level. Moritz has pioneered crowd sourcing for connectomics, engaging more than a hundred students to work together to analyze the immense amounts of data. Going forward, he aims at motivating thousands of curious minds to collaborate online on the task of reconstructing the powerful and fascinating neuronal networks of the brain. www.mhlab.net About TEDx 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.

Rather than sticking to just one style, he used his endless obsession with of all types of music from early on, to adapt his influences into his own way of composing and playing. The Vienna based contemporary musician and composer now sees his role as a mediator between musical worlds, trying to find new ways to challenge the listening habits of his audience. Never pleased with the results, then handing his written music to other musicians, he is now doing it all himself. His music is hard to define. His instrument is the electric guitar.
