Dr Michael Merzenich is one of the world’s leading cognitive neuroscientists (he is known as “The Father of Cognitive Neuroscience”, and he was awarded the Kavli Prize for Neuroscience - equivalent to the Nobel Prize - in 2017).
So when he talks, it's worth listening.
Our understanding of brain plasticity provides us with transformative insights into strategies for optimizing neurological performance. By understanding the neurological origins of variations in human performance and achievement, and the processes that govern and control brain change, we now understand how to advance the performance abilities of any individual, of any age, at will.
Our growing understanding of the relationships between human performance and organic brain health informs strategies for improving and sustaining that health, and for growing resilience to help assure a safer neurological passage across the childhood epoch of life. We shall briefly review this science, then describe how it has led to new practical strategies for helping almost any child elevate their brainpower to a higher and safer operational
level.
