“The briefer (the meeting) the better to maximize brain potential”

by

Ques­tion by Michael King
I am curi­ous… as the Direc­tor of a Brain Health Cen­ter, what do you do to opti­mize your own brain per­for­mance? And what about your co-work­ers’ brain performance?

Sandra_Bond_ChapmanAnswer by Dr. San­dra Chapman
I nev­er accept sta­tus quo or pre­dictable meet­ings. The briefer the bet­ter to max­i­mize brain poten­tial. It is impor­tant for peo­ple to give their ideas in a sen­tence or two at a high lev­el ver­sus get­ting bogged down in the details to explain every­thing. I want syn­the­sized new ideas to lead the way! I squeeze the poten­tial out of my co-work­ers by mak­ing them inno­vate new ideas and solve big prob­lems with­out micro-man­ag­ing their thinking.

Sandra Chapman: Using innovative thinking, and brain training, we can rewire the brain at every level

San­dra Bond Chap­man, PhD

What is your cur­rent job title and orga­ni­za­tion, and what excites you the most about work­ing there? 
As the founder and chief direc­tor at the Cen­ter for Brain­Health at UT-Dal­las, what gets me excit­ed every day is being on the fore­front of defin­ing and encour­ag­ing cog­ni­tive brain health fit­ness for peo­ple of all ages. We are iden­ti­fy­ing mea­sures of brain health and what it takes to achieve it for healthy brains, injured brains and dis­eased brains. It is just as impor­tant to care for your brain when it is healthy as when it is dis­eased or injured.

Brain fitness meets HRV and EEG biometrics and neuroinformatics

by

As an active par­tic­i­pant in the Open­ViBE project (a soft­ware plat­form to design, test and use Brain-Com­put­er Inter­faces), in sci­en­tif­ic as well as tech­ni­cal capac­i­ties, I have long been focused on ways to process, ana­lyze and put brain sig­nals to prac­ti­cal use. When I start­ed read­ing on the sub­ject of brain fit­ness a few years ago, I rec­og­nized the poten­tial to enhance a vari­ety of brain train­ing approach­es, from med­i­ta­tion to cog­ni­tive train­ing, by deploy­ing [Read more…] about Brain fit­ness meets HRV and EEG bio­met­rics and neuroinformatics
