Neuropsychologist Amy Serin, Co-Founder of Brainnovations Winner The Touchpoint Solution, would like to see everyone avoid the detrimental effects of an overactive stress response

February 20, 2018 by Alvaro Fernandez

Dr. Serin, what sur­prised you the most from the Judges’ ques­tions and feed­back dur­ing the Brain­no­va­tions Pitch Con­test?

It was great that at least one of the judges had already pur­chased and start­ed using our prod­uct so we could delve into the nuances of our tech­nol­o­gy quick­ly. And I was thrilled that all judges saw the pos­si­bil­i­ties to cre­ate sig­nif­i­cant glob­al impact.

In a nut­shell, what is the core idea behind Touch­Points?

Too many peo­ple suf­fer too much stress, often lead­ing to sleep­less­ness, crav­ings, anger, poor focus, poor per­for­mance, and feel­ing over­whelmed. Touch­Points aim at reduc­ing stress by deliv­er­ing hap­tic microvi­bra­tions via wear­able devices worn on both sides of the body. The [Read more…] about Neu­ropsy­chol­o­gist Amy Serin, Co-Founder of Brain­no­va­tions Win­ner The Touch­point Solu­tion, would like to see every­one avoid the detri­men­tal effects of an over­ac­tive stress response

Top 10 Brain Training Trends — Putting our Cognitive Reserve to Work

December 14, 2010 by Alvaro Fernandez

Yes­ter­day I had the chance to chat with Yaakov Stern, lead­ing Cog­ni­tive Reserve researcher at Colum­bia Uni­ver­si­ty, and then with a group of 25 life­long learn­ers in Ari­zona who attend­ed a brain fit­ness class (hel­lo, Robert and friends!) based on our con­sumer guide The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness. On reflec­tion, I found both con­ver­sa­tions to be very stim­u­lat­ing for the same rea­son: they were for­ward-look­ing, focused not so much on sta­tus quo but on how emerg­ing research, tech­nol­o­gy and trends may impact our soci­ety and lives in years to come. Let’s con­tin­ue the con­ver­sa­tion. Let me share the 10 main trends that we analyzed/ fore­cast­ed in our book, and then ask you, sharp read­ers, to add your own 2 cents to the dis­cus­sion.

FAQ about SharpBrains Council for Brain Fitness Innovation

September 30, 2010 by Alvaro Fernandez

We have received many good ques­tions about the new Sharp­Brains Coun­cil for Brain Fit­ness Inno­va­tion — below you have some answers.

Ques­tion: We are based in Asia/ Australia/ Europe. Will time dif­fer­ences pre­vent us from par­tic­i­pat­ing in month­ly brief­in­gs and ben­e­fit­ing from the Council?

Answer: We will do our best to facil­i­tate a tru­ly glob­al com­mu­ni­ty and exchange. Please con­sid­er that…

  1. we will sched­ule month­ly brief­in­gs at 2 sep­a­rate times, one at 9am US Pacif­ic Time, the oth­er at 4pm US Pacif­ic Time, both cov­er­ing the same top­ic (but per­haps with dif­fer­ent guest speak­ers). And brief­in­gs will be recorded.
  2. most activ­i­ties and resources are asyn­chro­nous any­way. Our mar­ket intel­li­gence reports and oth­er mate­ri­als are avail­able via this mem­bers-only online com­mu­ni­ty 24/7, same as online dis­cus­sion forums, focused groups to track/ dis­cuss spe­cif­ic top­ics, the abil­i­ty to ask ques­tions to and con­nect with oth­er members…

Ques­tion: Will some­thing change regard­ing SharpBrains.com blog and month­ly newslet­ter, which are great free resources?

Answer: We plan to  main­tain those free resources, focus­ing on con­tent of a gen­er­al inter­est for every­one with a brain. The Coun­cil’s pur­pose is to cre­ate a new valu­able in-depth resource and com­mu­ni­ty for pro­fes­sion­als and orga­ni­za­tions active with brain fit­ness ini­tia­tives, so we can all learn and share dur­ing the year, and help the field mature. That will include [Read more…] about FAQ about Sharp­Brains Coun­cil for Brain Fit­ness Innovation
