Defending Your Castle: Building Cognitive Reserve with Neurofeedback

So, three castles: the first is built of stone on the traditional model. Same slits for arrows, a little crenellation and a nice moat with ducks. A contingent of serfs and knights, sitting around eating turkey legs and repeating the jester’s jokes. Badly. Second castle’s really big, heavy with redundancies. Two moats, a couple of extra walls. Still on the traditional model, just more of everything. Third castle? Same. Except it’s clearly cleverer. Someone’s an...

Monk-Like Lifestyle and Cognitive Wellbeing

Who would have guessed that monks were keen cerebral strategists against aging and cognitive impairment? As a way to keep their minds sharp amidst requisite isolation, medieval monks often stored memories in so called “memory-houses” they “built” inside their brains. They furnished each “room” with a kind of memory and when they wanted to retrieve it, they mentally walked themselves to the right room and got what they needed. In effect, they created about a geography...

Achieve Resolution Success with Brain Training

Optimism. It's a holiday tradition. Sure, we took our knocks the previous year. OK -mea culpa - we made some missteps in the previous twelve months. But now, 2014 is in our sites and burns bright with possibilities. We've come to approach this annual calendar page-turning as an opportunity for human revolution in the midst of overcoming our (literal and figurative) hangover from the previous year. But According to a University of Scranton study, only 39%...

Is Neurofeedback the New Smart Weapon for Business Productivity?

The Great Speedup has Sped Up. The so-called Great Speedup is not a new game app for your iPhone. And it does not, (unfortunately) describe the state of the current global economy…at least not in the way you might think. The Great Speedup is the economic phenomenon in which companies are attempting to squeeze more and more production out of fewer and fewer workers. And the strain is starting to show. (more…)

Work It: 4 Ways Neurofeedback Turbocharges Job Performance

I learned a lot from my Russian roots. My genealogy is actually Scotch/Irish, but my Ph.D. work was in Russian Studies. Unlike Romance languages, Russian is a language "invented" by 19th century European linguists. The good news about that is Russian grammatical rules are logical - much like Latin. The bad news is, learning Russian is a lot like learning Latin. Back to my roots: Russian is heavily based in word roots. In fact, finding the...

5 Top Holiday Gifts To Give The Ones You Love

I must have been an etymologist in a past life. I actually perk up when my search engine finds: "the history and origins of words". I'm particularly fascinated with how words change and evolve over time. And since we're well into the holiday season, I absolutely must deconstruct a particular word's progression. Remember when "gifted" used to refer to someone with a talent or exceptional cognitive ability? Now it appears that word has experienced "mission...
