The “Holy Grail”: How to drive behavior change by harnessing neuroplasticity and emotions

November 17, 2014 by SharpBrains

brainbehavior—

CWRU nurs­ing school award­ed $2.35 mil­lion to study the link between the brain and health behav­ior change (press release):

“A five-year, $2.35 mil­lion grant from the Nation­al Insti­tute of Nurs­ing Research will allow researchers from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nurs­ing, Col­lege of Arts and Sci­ences and the School of Med­i­cine at Case West­ern Reserve Uni­ver­si­ty to study how brain activ­i­ty moti­vates the chron­i­cal­ly ill to man­age their ill­ness­es [Read more…] about The “Holy Grail”: How to dri­ve behav­ior change by har­ness­ing neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty and emotions

Digital health meets consumer electronics and brain training

January 30, 2013 by Dr. Evian Gordon

There’s no doubt that the biggest buzz at this year’s Con­sumer Elec­tron­ics Show in Las Vegas didn’t come from the slimmest of tele­vi­sions, the most fash­ion­able head­phones or even a danc­ing robot.

The buzz of CES 2013 was firm­ly cen­tred on all things health and the Dig­i­tal Health Sum­mit is where the action was hap­pen­ing. On the eve of open­ing Ari­an­na Huff­in­g­ton described what was about to hap­pen in Las Vegas as a ‘Per­fect Storm’

“I’m talk­ing about one of those moments in which sev­er­al trends con­verge to cre­ate some­thing larg­er, a moment we will look back on as the time every­thing changed ….. this year’s CES has the poten­tial to be one of the most trans­for­ma­tive ever, and that’s because of a sig­nif­i­cant change in atti­tude about what role tech­nol­o­gy can, and should, be play­ing in our lives. That’s the foun­da­tion of this per­fect storm”. [Read more…] about Dig­i­tal health meets con­sumer elec­tron­ics and brain training

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Forum on the Future Impact of Neuroscience and Behavior Change

October 28, 2009 by Alvaro Fernandez

The Robert Wood John­son Foun­da­tion just announced a new ini­tia­tive of their Pio­neer port­fo­lio:

“On Novem­ber 11–12, the Robert Wood John­son Foun­da­tion (RWJF), work­ing with the Mon­i­tor Insti­tute, will wel­come a small group of researchers, aca­d­e­mics, physi­cians and indus­try lead­ers in the fields of neu­rotech­nol­o­gy, neu­rode­vel­op­ment and behav­ior change for a Forum on the Future Impact of Neu­ro­science and Behav­ior Change.

The ques­tion: what could neu­ro­science inno­va­tion mean for the future of health and health care?

This blog post con­tains the list of  par­tic­i­pants (hon­ored to be one) and an excel­lent con­tex­tu­al overview.

Foun­da­tion staff will blog and tweet the event (haven’t seen the hash­tag yet); I will link to good mate­ri­als and offer my own per­spec­tive focused on that “neu­rode­vel­op­ment” aspect and, over­all, where/ how research and the real-world can “dance” with each other.
