Upgrading Education and Health in light of Neuroscience: The Frontier of Gaming?

July 21, 2014 by SharpBrains

SharpBrainsGuide_London—

We had a great event last Thurs­day in Lon­don to dis­cuss the future of applied neu­ro­science and gam­ing. Thank you, Brainbow/ Peak team, for host­ing us, and Strate­gic North for help­ing pro­mote it!

Many insights were shared. Per­haps one of the main take-aways was the sig­nif­i­cant oppor­tu­ni­ty at hand to lever­age big data in order to per­son­al­ize and refine brain train­ing method­olo­gies, help­ing brain train­ing trans­fer from the train­ing itself into real-world ben­e­fits that enhance the user’s per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al life. 

To learn more:

  • Book — The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness: How to Opti­mize Brain Health and Per­for­mance at Any Age
  • Upcom­ing con­fer­ence — 2014 Sharp­Brains Vir­tu­al Sum­mit (Octo­ber 28–30th, 2014)
  • Peak brain train­ing games

Event pro­gramme:

  • 18 10 — 18 15: Wel­come from Jes­si­ca Tres at The Brain Tumour Charity

  • 18 25 — 18 40: Keynote by Alvaro Fer­nan­dez, Sharp­Brains’ CEO & Co-Founder. Alvaro will be intro­duc­ing his lat­est book for the first time in the UK. The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness: How to Opti­mise Brain Health and Per­for­mance at Any Age com­bines a user-friend­ly tuto­r­ial on how the brain works with evi­dence-based advice about how to choose and inte­grate lifestyle changes and brain-train­ing appli­ca­tions.

He has been quot­ed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Jour­nal, CNN, AP and oth­ers, and has an MBA and MA in Edu­ca­tion from Stan­ford University.
