Your brain is constantly changing. Did you have much better memory as a child? Were you able to concentrate on reading a book for a long period of time whereas now you can barely finish a full article on the Internet? Do you tend to procrastinate and feel unable to stop no matter how hard you try? Were you once a much more optimistic person, but now you struggle to feel happy about your life?
These are just a few examples of how your brain changes based on what it experiences most often (scientists call this “activity-dependent brain plasticity”). In this talk, neuroscientist Dr. Gabija Toleikyte will explain the mechanisms underlying high performance, memory formation, attention and productivity. You’ll learn how you can use these insights to be more efficient and effective at work, boost your memory, overcome procrastination, and optimise your cognitive functioning to get more done with less effort and in less time.
Dr Gabija Toleikyte is a neuroscientist and business coach. She completed her PhD at the University College London on the neuronal basis of memory and navigation. During her PhD, Gabija acquired a business coach qualification and worked as an internal coach at UCL for senior academics and administrative staff.
Combining coaching experience with neuroscience insights allows Gabija to develop unique seminars, where solid neuroscience research is presented in the context of the topics relevant for individuals and organisations.

That talk was so good I even clapped with the audience!
She is a great speaker.
This is very interesting. I want more
This channel is really good. Does anyone else know of similar channels?
Edit: Audio cuts out around 48:30 for me
I wish you had shared the powerpoint file as well...
As another commenter mentioned, audio cuts out around 48min on phone speaker, but not on headphones. Maybe a stereo/mono issue?
Thanks!

As regards multi tasking.. you say research shows that men are just as good at this as women.. that may well be true.. but it’s the women most often.. who do most of the work.. and are forced to multi task .. coz they’re partners are so often lazy.. and spend a vast lot of time , sat on their behinds.. This is a fact that research has shown..!
Someone said this great quote..
“To do many things.. do one thing at a time “.. great presentation.. Thank you.. I’m only part way through.. and may comment later as well.
Super
Audio cuts out - what a shame. You should probably listen to posts in their entirety for consistent audio.
I listen to it on my laptop and it was fine perhaps its an issue with your headphones or something.
@@NorahsYarnArt Good point! I will try that! I shouldn’t have complained until I considered this. I apologize. 😬
@@NorahsYarnArt btw I love this woman’s work. Amazing.
Use headset bro, then audio problem with abdroid fixed

I'd like to make a correction. At about 55:30 she says short-term memory lasts for a few hours to a few days. I'm not sure where she got this from, but that's incorrect, at least according to what I've learned at the University of Toronto. Short term memory is on the order of seconds. Anything longer than a minute or so is considered long-term memory. In fact, she goes on to talk about the case study on HM who couldn't remember things for longer than 30 seconds or so, which is actually the study that spurred psychologists/neurologists to split memory into separate systems, including short- and long-term memory.
