Flex your cortex -- 7 secrets to turbocharge your brain | Sandra Bond Chapman, Ph.D. | TEDxBayArea

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why is there a stigma associated with our brain's health? Consider that
the brain is the most powerful, most staggeringly complex
electro-biochemical machine ever created. Above and behind our eyes are
100 billion neurons in a small calcium shell, laced with organic pumps,
channels and switches. Until recently, this complicated organ was thought
to be static and unchangeable. Far from it. Learn from Dr. Sandra Bond
Chapman, founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth at The
University of Texas at Dallas seven scientifically-validated secrets
anyone can implement to improve brain performance.
Sandra Bond Chapman, Ph.D., founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas, Dee Wyly Distinguished University Chair and author of Make Your Brain Smarter, is committed to maximizing human cognitive potential across the entire human lifespan. As a cognitive neuroscientist with more than 40 funded research grants and federal, state and private philanthropic support, Dr. Chapman’s scientific study elucidates and applies novel approaches to build brain resilience, advance creative and critical thinking, strengthen healthy brain development and repair brain function after brain injury or brain disease.
Dr. Chapman collaborates with scientists across the country and around the world to solve some of the most important issues concerning the brain and its health. On the frontier of brain research, her scientific study melds interdisciplinary expertise to better understand how to evaluate and achieve optimal brain performance through preserving frontal lobe function, the area of the brain responsible for reasoning, planning and decision-making. Dr. Chapman is actively studying the informative pathways to brain change in health, injury and disease; identifying brain health biomarkers and novel non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment approaches, and testing the effect of brain training to exploit brain potential. Dedicated to improving lives today and changing how the public thinks and acts about the brain and its health, Dr. Chapman is committed to promoting brain health fitness, developing futuristic thinkers, and helping individuals, young or old, think smarter.

    Summary: 1. SINGLE TASK - CONCENTRATE ON ONE TASK AT A TIME. MULTI TASK = BAD 2. INHIBIT INFORMATION - DON'T BE DISTRACTED BY INFORMATION . TOO MUCH INFO = BAD.... LEARN TO LIMIT TO ESSENTIAL INFO. 3. DETOX DSTRACTION - ELIMINATE DISTRACTION INCLD TECHNOLOGY 4. BIG IDEA THINKING - TAKE AN IDEA AND SYNTHESIS IT WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW 5. CALIBRATE - ORDER TASKS IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE... DONT WASTE TIME ON INSIGNIFICANT TASK'S 6. INNOVATION -- USE YOUR CREATIVITY 7. MOTIVATION --- MOTIVATION > TALENT ...TRY TO MAKE TASKS MORE INNOVATIVE AND INTERESTING TO YOU. your welcome.

    In 12 minutes Dr. Chapman summarizes what it takes to ensure excellence in brain mastery and brain health -- a vital and fascinating theme considering that our brains are both the engines of our lives and the filters through which we see and understand reality. One of the best KZread videos and TedTalks i've ever seen -- and i watch hundreds each year. Honored and grateful for TEDTalks, KZread, the internet, and Dr. Chapman and her colleagues around the world that are creating a vital current for all of us out there working on ushering in a new age of enlightenment and a more loving, ethical, scientific, spiritual, and meaningful worldview and development paradigm.

Another thing that is becoming more known since you posted is the idea of intermittent fasting and how fasting affects the brain and body. Fasting is a regenerative process and causes a rise in stem cell count and those factors that increase the growth of neurons. So do some research on the subject and apply what seems logical to you.

    We're what we think/believe, and sometimes eat. I know that without being told by so-called experts. If you know what you want out of your life, and are determined with it, nothing really matters. We need to be level headed - emotion and rational need to go together. We need to act upon what we believe is righteous, not right. Many people are already confused to make a difference between the right and the righteous. In order to have integrity, we need to keep learning and experiencing life. That's all there is to everyone's life. It all depends on how seriously we're interested in living each day fulfillingly according to your spiritual belief. Nothing complicated like this talk.

    Good talk. I wish she would have added in the first point, Single Task, that this is an advantage. One of the two great things the brain can do is commit put all its resources on one problem. The other is that it can pull together bits of brain processing areas - neural assemblies - to solve that problem. I think it was Greenfield who said that.

    Good one Ralph. And of course, that is the brain doing that too. So we can multitask once memory goes from episodic to routine. And yet, even that is not completely true. The reason you can't see things as easily when you drive and talk on the phone is because the language processing area hijacks a lot of your visual cortex to make meaning.

    +Łukasz P. "big idea thinking" is: When you leave your "status quo" thinking behind, and step outside of the "box" of your mind and look around there for all the infinite possibilities. By using your imagination to vision a great idea that you can use to advance your and others life. Then after finally you have that great idea that you've hopped for, then you need to create a plan on how to achieve it. Then, you must take immediate step-by-step persistent actions to bring your idea into reality.

    ***** You are absolutely correct. I newer understood why so many book readers are reading books so fast, that they have absolutely no chance to fully assimilate those informations into their mind. I rather read only two "good" books per month slowly, and as a result understand it fully, than read twenty books per month quickly in a hurry, and have remember of what they've contained vaguely.

    ***** That is a great way to find good books. I agree. The best way to find the best information in books, especially in self improvement books, is the way you do it. Reading as many books as you can, as fast as you can, and separating the best ones from the average, and rereading those books slowly which ones containing the best information. It is the best way to learn.

    ***** I like to read slowly because I want to make sure that I fully understand everything. But of course we are not all the same, we are wired differently in our brains. So we must figure it out for ourselves what works best for us.

    What are examples of multitasking that are bad for you? If you walk on the treadmill and read a book at the same time does that have negative side effects?

    multitastking is bad only if it combines 2 or more actions which you are supposed to perform consciously. Walking, breathing, etc. are automatised, they are being performed subconsciously and dont interfere with the task at hand.

    This single task stuff makes me think about how a computer has a certain RAM capacity and this determines how many programs it can run at once, computers can run multiple programs but at a lower efficiency rate as opposed to just having one program working. Sounds a lot like us

    It's not about single task, it's about distraction and very hard to not engage in the distraction because it felt like unfinished biz for ppl with compulsiveness.. And once you attended to the distraction it takes u hours like shopping online for food supplies, coz you hate to be hungry when you jst started on your taak,after hours on distractions then you felt tired and needed rest, you are aware of it, but can't help to engage in the distractiom.. And after one distraction when you switch back to the task u have another distraction, it's very hard to ignore the distraction cox u think the distraction only takes 10min but it takes 40min or 1hr...the whole day is mostly just distractions.

    I wish highly intelligent people would stop using the term "High Octane" incorrectly. High octane is not the increase of power but lowering the likeliness of premature detonation at a less than optimum compression or before the spark plug discharges. It is better to use the correct octane for the engine rather than the highest available. It takes away the effectiveness of a speaker when they try to convey a great idea with inaccurate word choices. With that said, I am sure someone will find numerous grammar flaws in my comment. My excuse is that I am not a highly intelligent person but just an ever struggling idiot that tries to learn. :-)

    89 octane burns easier, that's why it causes detonation in high compression engines. John is right.
