WHY DOES BRAIN SPEED MATTER, AND WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE I just saw an article in Scientific American about why brain speed is important, how it decays as we age, and what the effects are on daily life over time. But this is nothing new: we have been talking about brain speed for years! Some highlights from the article include: “Studies suggest that the speed of information processing changes with age such that our thinking speeds up from INSIGHTS FROM A BRAIN TRAINING STUDY ON TINNITUS In the January 19th issue of JAMA-Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, a research team from Washington University (St. Louis) School of Medicine reported interesting outcomes from a brain training strategy that appeared to help a significant proportion of individuals living with severe tinnitus. 1 The nature of these benefits—and other outcomes from this carefully conducted trial—are "ON THE BRAIN" WITH DR.

WHY DOES BRAIN SPEED MATTER, AND WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE I just saw an article in Scientific American about why brain speed is important, how it decays as we age, and what the effects are on daily life over time. But this is nothing new: we have been talking about brain speed for years! Some highlights from the article include: “Studies suggest that the speed of information processing changes with age such that our thinking speeds up from THE STORY OF "HACK MY BRAIN," TODD SAMPSON, BRAINHQ, AND On September 19, 2014, at 8:00 p.m., the Science Channel will air a 3-part documentary called “Hack My Brain.” As the chief scientific consultant for the show, I helped the host, Todd Sampson, improve his memory, attention, and processing speed using BrainHQ.

ABOUT BRAIN PLASTICITY Brain plasticity is a physical process. Gray matter can actually shrink or thicken, neural connections can be forged and refined or (conversely) weakened and severed. Changes in the physical brain manifest as changes in our abilities. For example, each time we learn a new dance step, it reflects a change in our physical brains: new“wires

OVERLOOKING DOWN SYNDROME In Down Syndrome children, this potentially-corrective brain-change machinery is severely dysfunctional. One very interesting aspect of the neurology of DS is the fact that the basal nucleus is substantially intact in these kids at birth, but its functionality slowly deteriorates — usually over a period of several years — ininfancy and

INSIGHTS FROM A BRAIN TRAINING STUDY ON TINNITUS In the January 19th issue of JAMA-Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, a research team from Washington University (St. Louis) School of Medicine reported interesting outcomes from a brain training strategy that appeared to help a significant proportion of individuals living with severe tinnitus. 1 The nature of these benefits—and other outcomes from this carefully conducted trial—are ARE "HELICOPTER PARENTS" CREATING A RACE OF DISCONNECTED One of the negative consequences of our high tech- and fear-dominated modern culture is the systematic withdrawal of children from independent and exploratory play, in natural social and physicalenvironments.
