Sort Your Brain Out
Many people these days worry about what intensive tech use might be doing to their brains. In particular, there is concern about how overuse of genAI might lead to problems. Happily there’s plenty of evidence for me to talk about in my 60 min keynote and it’s been going down really well with professional audiences from a wide variety of different industries.
In 2011 Dr Jack gave a 1hr motivational talk highlighting some pearls of neuroscience wisdom that everyone can exploit to optimise brain performance every day. It was a fantastic experience. I enjoyed doing the talk enormously and the feedback I got from the organisers, my co-speakers and members of the audience was overwhelmingly good.
Over the last few years that I have been heavily involved in science communication, whether writing up ideas for television series, articles for newspapers, book proposal, #Braintweets and so on, I’ve stumbled upon a great variety of neuroscience-informed pearls of wisdom that can help everyone get the most out of their brains. A few months ago I decided to put together a series of hour-long presentations packed with general tips on maximising brain performance through improvements in diet and exercise, strategies for improving memory retention, dealing with stress and a highly visual and animated crash course in neuroscience.
