As Gestalt sports trainers, we show how to sustain a cohesive whole lost concentrating on individual parts.
Gestalt essentially describes what a healthy brain does.
Just as a healthy body can achieve more, the same is true for a healthy brain. While a healthy body may still experience injuries and illnesses, it tends to recover more swiftly. This principle is equally applicable to a healthy brain.
recognizing the individual parts it is familiar with and understanding the connections between those parts to form a cohesive perception of the whole.
A healthy brain sustains the cohesive whole. It does this by interpreting the world through two distinct perspectives:
We move parts to reshape the whole, creating new opportunities as current ones fade. In this way, the whole transcends algorithms. It continually generates something greater than the sum of its parts. It embodies the principles of Gestalt—what is beautiful, true, and good—the essence of the full human experience.

# What Prevents Us from Sustaining a Healthy Brain
Although every part is essential—since a whole cannot exist without them—focusing on individual parts diminishes the brain's capacity to understand the whole. Lacking this holistic perspective leads us to piece together familiar parts in an algorithmic fashion, much like artificial intelligence. We should not overlook the importance of the whole; therefore, it is essential to restore brain health lost by focusing solely on individual parts. Engaging in activities that enhance the perception of the whole is vital for this restoration.

As Gestalt sports trainers, we provide opportunities to train the perception of the whole, that was reduced to focus on parts. We train the brain to sustain the cohesive whole. We provide training to sustain a healthy brain.

About the event
Jon has 30 years of experience in how the brain interprets the world around us. In this session, Jon will demonstrate how to enhance in-game decision-making by shifting players' perceptions of their surroundings.
Artificial Intelligence views information as versatile Lego-like components that can be combined into various predetermined structures. When players regard their fellow players in the same Lego-like manner, they focus solely on how to fit them into a predefined strategy. This leads players to make automated, mechanical decisions within the game.
Jon helps players shift their perspective, transforming their view of other players from Lego-like figures to obstacles that block their line of sight. He encourages them to navigate around these barriers to discover hidden elements they weren't aware of, leading to those surprising moments of realization: "Wow, I had no idea that was there!"
Players transition from viewing the game as a mere assembly of LEGO-like characters…
