Lecture Recording: 25 Must-Know Facts to Harness Neuroplasticity & Technology For Better Brain Health

Description

On April 21st, 2016, three well-rec­og­nized experts dis­cussed 25 fun­da­men­tal facts around neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty, brain health, resilience, cog­ni­tive enhance­ment, Alzheimer’s pre­ven­tion, brain sup­ple­ments, brain train­ing, med­i­ta­tion, neu­ro­feed­back, neu­ro­ge­n­e­sis,  and more.

Avail­able online from any­where with an Inter­net con­nec­tion, this 90-minute lec­ture record­ing pro­vides par­tic­i­pants with the must-know foun­da­tion to under­stand the val­ue and the lim­i­ta­tions of emerg­ing brain sci­ence and relat­ed tech­nolo­gies, empow­er­ing them to nav­i­gate the grow­ing stream of news arti­cles, research reports and mar­ket­ing claims. Once you pur­chase access, you’ll gain imme­di­ate access to the record­ing and relat­ed resources. You can view the record­ing online as many times as you want, dur­ing the six months after purchase.

The Agenda

I. Dr. Robert Bilder: Key Facts about Neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty & the Brain

II. Tan Le: Key Facts about emerg­ing Technology

III. Alvaro Fer­nan­dez: Key Facts about how to put it all together

IV. Gen­er­al Q&A

Dur­ing the lec­ture, we zoomed into the most sig­nif­i­cant (and often over­looked) areas in the brain fit­ness jig­saw puz­zle you can see to the right, dis­cussing specifics about:

• How the brain works, and what neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty is
• What new sci­en­tif­ic find­ings mean (and what they don’t mean)
• Key guide­lines for aer­o­bic exer­cise, nutri­tion, men­tal stim­u­la­tion, stress man­age­ment, socialization
• The do’s and don’ts in lever­ag­ing tech­nol­o­gy for med­i­ta­tion, refram­ing, bio/ neu­ro­feed­back, cog­ni­tive training
• How to pri­or­i­tize options
• Key resources to stay well-informed and make good brain health decisions
