Seven brain teasers and a neuroplasticity podcast to celebrate Brain Awareness Week 2021

Brain Aware­ness Week 2021 takes place next month. Why not start cel­e­brat­ing now by chal­leng­ing our minds and dis­cussing the lat­est about life­long neuroplasticity?

Here’s a selec­tion of sev­en stim­u­lat­ing brain teasers that read­ers enjoyed the most in 2020:

  1. Please con­sid­er Lin­da’s job prospects
  2. Explore your per­cep­tu­al biases
  3. Think out­side the box with a few fun riddles
  4. Com­plete these proverbs and exer­cise your mem­o­ry and reasoning
  5. Where do words go?
  6. Test your stress lev­el if you dare…
  7. Which way is the bus head­ing?

And here’s the pod­cast where Eric White inter­views our very own Alvaro Fer­nan­dez to dis­cuss in-depth The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness. Eric shares how, for a good hour, “We talk about the impor­tance of being proac­tive with brain fit­ness, the role of exer­cise, diet and train­ing in brain health, the effects of video games and much more. Alvaro shared a lot of use­ful resources dur­ing this con­ver­sa­tion and I’ve shared links to each of them below.”
