Brain Fitness Webinar Series
I have been travelling much over the last 2 weeks to speak at a number of conferences and universities. I promised I would be sharing some of the key highlights, but we have decided to do something better to do justice to the richness and complexity of the field we cover. We are going to launch an experiment: a Brain Fitness Webinar Series.
This inaugural Brain Fitness Webinar Series will consist of 3 free live sessions. The series covers the most fundamental advances in cognitive science and their implications for individuals, companies and organizations. And we are honored to have John Medina lead of the sessions!
Each event is independent, in topic and in registration process.
Webinar #1: In “The State of the Brain Fitness Software Market, 2008, I will provide an overview of the science, market, and vendor landscape of the emerging brain fitness software market, based on our recent market report on this growing category.
— Target audience: Executives, professionals, investors, reporters and bloggers interested in learning more about the brain fitness market.
— More information: Market Report.
— Date and time: Tuesday May 27th, 2pm EDT/ 11am PDT

Webinar #2: In “Brain Rules for Thinking Smarter, John Medina, developmental molecular biologist and author of Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Striving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School will emphasize the importance of physical exercise, stress management and avoiding multitasking altogether.

— More information: The Science of Thinking Smarter, by John Medina.

I hope you find this series stimulating. Just pick the event that sounds more relevant to your interests!
Sign me for webinar series. Have several brain train programs.
Hello again, Alvaro.
Sounds like you are moving right along with new ideas. I have a question. Is the information in the webinars substantially different from that in the publications, your printed and online report, for example, or John Medina’s Brain Rules book (which I have purchased and am enjoying)?
Thanks, Ken
Hello yet again.
Are the “Ads by Google” products or companies that SmartBrains has reviewed and approved?
Ken
Can you describe the format e.g if I am on dial-up will I be able to watch, hear etc. the web broadcast or do I require High Speed ?
Hello Jan, we can’t sign you up. You need to find the webinar you want to attend, and register yourself. Thank you.
Kenneth:
1) the first 2 webinars are an introduction to those same materials. If you have the report, you know the subject in much more depth than we can cover in a webinar. If you have the book, same.
The third webinar is different, it is more of a summary of many other topics we cover in this blog.
2) Those ads are managed by Scientific American/ Google. We have nothing to do with them. So please don’t believe we have reviewed or endorsed any product simply because an ad appears for it.
Lyn: webinars are most often used in corporate meetings and events, using high-speed. We don’t recommend people access them using dial-up…but you can certainly try!
Hi..
registering for the webinars, when registering for the June session, I have to input the same info…is there no short cut?

Hello Dom,
Each webinar requires separate registration, sorry for the inconvenience.
Are these webinars going to be available in another format for download such as a podcast or mp3? They are scheduled for times when I’m unavailable.
Was very disappointed I signed up for Webinar #1: In “The State of the Brain Fitness Software Market, 2008 and received no link to access the webinar
John: not for the time being. Depending on the reception of this series, we may repeat it, or similar, in the future.
Diana: all email confirmations and reminders are sent automatically via the webinar platform. Your anti-Spam system may have misclassified those reminders. Please see if you find your details there; otherwise email us at support at sharpbrains dot com.
Alvaro,
Thank you very much for offering today’s webinar. My residents and I greatly enjoyed it. We did have a couple of questions afterwards.
1. Are any of the companies you reviewed non-for-profit?
2. Can you send me the slides Prior to you webinar? It would have been helpful to take notes on the actual pages. We are signed up for #2 and can’t wait.
Thank you,
Michele

Michele, thank you for participating yesterday, and for your comment. I responded to your emails questions. Quickly, on these ones:
1- None is.
2- As explained via difficult, I understand your request but we can’t implement it…the main reason being we want people to actually attend the webinar.
Talk to you next Tuesday!
