ABSTRACT
Explore the brain's amazing ability to change throughout a person's life. This phenomenon-called neuroplasticty-is the science behind brain fitness, and it has been called one of the most extraordinary scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
PBS had recently aired this special, The Brain Fitness Program, which explains the brain's complexities in a way that both scientists and people with no scientific background can appreciate.
This is opportunity to learn more about how our minds work-and to find out more about the latest in cutting-edge brain research, from the founder of Posit Science and creator of the Brain Fitness Program software, Dr. Michael Merzenich.
Speaker: Dr. Michael Merzenich, Ph.D.
Michael M. Merzenich, PhD: Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Merzenich leads the company's scientific team. For more than three decades, Dr. Merzenich has been a leading pioneer in brain plasticity research. He is the Francis A. Sooy Professor at the Keck Center for Integrative Neurosciences at UCSF. Dr. Merzenich is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes, including the Ipsen Prize, Zulch Prize of the Max Planck Institute, Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award and Purkinje Medal. Dr. Merzenich has published more than 200 articles, including many in leading peer-reviewed journals, such as Science and Nature. His work is also often covered in the popular press, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Time and Newsweek. He has appeared on Sixty Minutes II, CBS Evening News and Good Morning America. In the late 1980s, Dr. Merzenich was on the team that invented the cochlear implant, now distributed by market leader Advanced Bionics. In 1996, Dr. Merzenich was the founding CEO of Scientific Learning Corporation (Nasdaq: SCIL), which markets and distributes software that applies principles of brain plasticity to assist children with language learning and reading. He is an inventor on more than 50 patents. Dr. Merzenich earned his BS degree at the University of Portland and his PhD at Johns Hopkins.
I have got round to watching this properly tonight. I got 35 minutes through the video and I started to cry... as I realised how much of a disadvantage I was at as a child from a broken home it dawned on me how much I have achieved. My confidence had been shattered from my environment but I made it to university in the end. I do believe we can do anything we set our minds to. It's not the start that counts, but how you finish.
That's invaluable advice!!
Your comment made me tear up! Right on! I just made the hard choice of going back to school to finish my bachelors degree, despite a massive amount of self-doubt. 🙏 no matter what disadvantage we may face, education is the most crucial and important blessing ever bestowed upon man 🙌
Summary:
=> About brain plasticity (simplified). Covers 1)Brain plasticity across a lifetime, 2)improving individual brainpower 3)maintaining brain fitness and 4)why this matters
1. Brain plasticity across lifetime (3:52 - 46:00 )
Context: Babies are born stupid (no thought, perception, etc.), but have incredibly rapid learning skills. Our skills and abilities are shaped incredibly by culture.
1.1 Brain plasticity epochs:
a) Brain establishes control of its own development. (Set-up period).
+6 characteristics: a) always-on. b) environmental stimuli shape the initial brain processing machinery. c) auditory processing specialisation for baby's native language. d) early cortical specialisation enables development of working memory and attention. e)modulatory control processes enable selective plasticity on "good" outcomes. f) finally, plasticity gated by: working memory, attention, outcome specific plasticity.
b) Brain acquires its primary skill repertoire by controlling its own plasticity.
+ complexity increased through "success" feedback from repitition. Success measured through goal being achieved, or by modelling others' successful use of skill.
+Limitations occuring from abnormal development, from normal aging or psychiatric/neurological illness are reversible or correctable. We can improve, through intervention, the speed, accuracy, power, coordination, noise-immunity of cortical respresentations.
+ Almost any learning problem in children can be overcome through intensive training on brain PROCESSING and SPEED, the key skills supporting language and reading. 36:50 - 44:00 for How.
*33:13 - 36:00 has a super interesting statistic on 30 million word gap between professional parents' children Vs welfare.
c) "users" of the mastered skills and abilities.
+ 50 is the cross-over point between high level of vocabulary, but declining reasoning, spatial visualisation, episodic memory and perceptual speed. Why? Brain gets noisier, older, relies too much on abstraction, and is taken poor care of.
*52:55 onward is the elderly program for brain fitness
2. Improving individual brainpower
3. Maintaining brain fitness (49:30 - )
+To maintain the performance of the brain, there has to a) be a focus on learning things that are "truly new" b) diet rich with nuteients, c) physical exercise (at least 10 mins a day) d) "social exercise".
4. Why this matters (56:30 -59:30 )
5. Q&A (59:30 - 1:29:54 )
Thanks, this is super useful!
Many questions in the Q&A are also more interesting and applicable to life than the talk itself. E.g. is it better to learn one thing very deeply or to have a broad range of interests? (1:20:40)
aka Neuroplasticity.
@@ThatCrazzyRussian I can no longer accurately recall the specific disciplines involved, but they were in the advanced sciences. Anyway, a world class scientist in his late eighties began to experience cognitive decline. He was able to reverse it and recapture his former mental acuity, by devoting himself to an unrelated, equally high level field of scientific study. He credited the stimulus of that new challenge for rewiring his brain for increased efficiency.
I have sat through a million boring lectures and nearly died. I already lost my belief that you can learn from lectures. There are some good ones at UA-cam. But this one made me laugh and learn, and then learn more. Wow! The best I have ever attended! Really! Dr Merzenich rocks!
It's so great! He does all the hard work, we benefit by simply visiting UA-cam.
Sorry ZFlyer... he doesn't... It's mostly a sales pitch / information lecture. The only applicable advice he gives is to 1) Keep Learning & 2) Make sure that learning involves multiple brain areas. i.e. Learning a musical instrument or a second language.
thanks for saving an hour of my life.
Very informative. This knowledge will be instrumental in improving the quality of life for not only myself (age 50+) but my children and grandchildren. Thanks to everyone who had a part in making this available!
Great job!
GoogleTechTalks are really great!
After watching 38 seconds of this video, I feel confident to opine that this is an AWESOME video!
My advice: Don't watch TV (except for "Big Bang Theory"). No porn, no computer games. Don't procrastinate. Alternate between focused (lists, memorization, etc.) and reflection (relax and recall) modes of thought. The Einstein method: post relevant papers on your walls and spend days going from paper to paper making notes, reflecting, and writing down conclusions.
+Bob Crunch No porn? What's the point in life then?
***** I guess my assumption was that the objective was to make yourself a better person and boost your mental powers. It didn't occur to me at the time that people watching this video may have the objective of rotting their minds. My error. My bad. Sorry. Thanks for pointing out my error.
+Bob Crunch Arrogance much?
+Bob Crunch I've actually been in this kind of mode already. I have the Sticky Notes program always visible on my desktop and make notes of everything that is bothering me, either at the moment, or events from when I was just a few years old that traumatized me, and everything else that has happened up until now. I dissect these issues, think about how I felt at those moments, and relate to the way I am now and the way I perceive things, behave, understand my moods. I have a lot of paper reminders as well, but the problem with those, is that after writing things down, I forget either where I put them or just forget what they were about. I of course hash things out in all my alone time. I need alone time, but with that, can come negative thoughts. Depending on what mood I'm in, the thoughts can help me be productive, creative or artistic or, they can be destructive and make me beat myself up over things that happened 45 years ago or towards the present time and anywhere in between. A lot of time my mind will get me to exaggerate events and amplify them, blow them out of proportion to make me get aggravated or volatile to abuse myself. I have done that most of my life. But it was mostly instilled in me to believe how worthless everyone would make me out to be and tell me so, bully me, tell me I'm stupid, make me their fool and clown, punching bag, called useless and that I should just die. And a thousand more cutting insults, many of which were repeated day after day all day long in school, then in the workplace when I got older. Day after day all through school, into adulthood in the workplace. week after week, after month, after year, after decade, till now. Only in the past few years has it tapered to nearly nothing. but the damage is done now. I have been so beat down for so long that I see no starting point to return to when people just say, "well go back and start over." "Just leave it all behind" "Don't think about it!" Really?
So back to your comment: I don't have a TV anymore. Don't miss it. If I want to watch a rerun of something or the news, there's UA-cam or Yahoo news. I can tend to get into a porn fixation sometimes when I get the urge, but I have a right to when I have never gotten anything that was any good for me. Only what settle for in the 2 whole relationships of my life. Both should have never happened. The first one, well, she just wanted the sperm donor for child support and a place to hang while she went out, cheated, used up my credit cards and sent me into debt. The second one I married. Great gal and great friend, but not to be married to and live with. I got used up there. I played the chauffeur, nurse, butler, chef, gofer, shopper, baby sitter and so many other titles. There was nothing there for me at all, but a home. I got into this because I made a hasty conclusion that I didn't deserve to be alone anymore, and I couldn't afford to keep my one and only home that I had in my own name. Now, I'm back to square one. What's the point.
Vue U I guess I don't know you well enough to give any advice, and I'm certainly not a counselor, so all I can say is hang in there. My original post was meant to apply to learning new knowledge like college courses or self-study. Application for managing one's life is another matter. Self analysis and introspection are useful, but can sometimes be overdone, especially if it leads to negative thought patterns.

Good luck!
scintillating, inspirational, informative, thought provoking, mind changing; presented with clarity, enthusiasm and wit; a masterpiece and certainly one to be shared with family and friends.
Amazing talk, exactly what I've been looking for. Most other videos on youtube misdefines plasticity.
This man has pioneered the evolving research in applied neuroscience and has helped more cognitively disabled people than almost anyone
That's an amazing talk! Thanks for sharing!
Lately (5/16) news reports are saying that many brain training programs are only placebo. I wonder how this work stands up.
A brain exercise tip. Get a mini camcorder. Go outside and slowly walk around the block while the camcorder is recording. When you get back to your starting point go back into the house and review first what you remembered in as minute detail as possible. Write it all down in a notebook. Draw a map. Then review what you recorded to see what you did and didn't recall. Do this for seven days. Then repeat the whole procedure walking the other way round. Then the next block over.
In this way you use words, images, spatial memory, concepts, regular memory, imagination, ..etc. In short; your whole brain. To make it more challenging try to recall the last thing you viewed first and work forward to the first thing you recalled last. Be sure to record your experience with all your senses. Flowers, color shape, size, numbers, fragrant, what taste they remind you of, what sound they remind you of...etc. Good luck.
MrPanetela So have you tried this yourself and does it work for you?
Had a vivid dream a few days ago. A beautiful women came up to me and said, "Not everyone has a camera, what about that?" After waking up I realized that this was somewhat true to some extent. I guess for some it would be awkward to film their neighbors homes. I thought about it and came up with an alternative. Use Google Street view to exercise with. I generate a lot of cartoons. This requires me to see threw my characters eyes as I would myself. Rotating in all three planes is a very fine way to get into ones cartoon character world. My present set up doesn't allow me to do the fancy FX stuff you would see on TV, however in my personal life, it does generate interesting results in dreams. However, many of my friends say doing this exercise is hard, yet remember doing something similar easily in their childhood. This then isn't something new, but is part of our genetic human heritage. I suspect that going to school somehow dampens this natural ability. Perhaps, peer pressure?
You said cartoon. You mean a computer program generated cartoon character that you use as a model to go in an out of streets and trying to remember what you have seen this way? I don't quite get you. I don't know how you might do this in Google Street view. But you probably meant "character" as pretend you are "Sonic the Hedgehog" or something. lol. in speaking of that. If Sonic was real, he would have to really be ADHD. lol.anyway. Yeah, long term memory,"child hood" memories can be quite clear and sometimes I remember how old I was, what I was doing, which way I was facing, who else might have been there, what the circumstance was and exactly what I was feeling. It really can set someone up for a bad adult life when you go through the hell that I did, from day 1. I was molested as a toddler. A life of constant bullying, intimidation, made to be the fool/clown and it never really ended. looking like "Screech" from Saved by the Bell most of my life. And having so many mental problems that were there before and compounded from the bad experiences. You can't function like this. I wish I could let go of ALL of my past memories, except for the few good ones. It might have helped me to move on. rewire the circuitry as it were, but it won't be happening in my life time.
Vue U Avatars and cartoon characters both have unique uses. I concentrate on cartoons and little stories. My newest approach to street visualized memorization has lead me to explore the architecture of each home. This helps making the memory connections deep and strong when you have labels to tag the general features of a house.
Depression generated by abuse is no laughing matter. You can reduce its hold on you. You see, just by thinking of a thing, can stimulate a response. I would find something that I could practice a few hours a day, and totally concentrate on it during that period. It could be poetry, songs, hymns,...etc. It needs to be both something you do vocally and physically. Eventually the bad feeling become replaced by positive ones. Hope that helps.
LoL!
I just wanted to thank Dr. Merzenich and Google so much for this excellent disclosure of ability to enhance brain function as I age. I've bookmarked the Brain Gym website and I plan to go through that program. 'Fascinating also to raise the question of what effects on the brain are of extensive use of Google, other computing contexts and TV (I'm subject to extensive computing myself but regard most TV as brain-harmful) and to examine it and control it. Thank you very much again.
That response was just awesome. Very well said!
Good video. My comment: this was made 13 years ago - what happened? To what extent was this implemented, and how successful?
Great lecture, very informative, Thank you!
Fascinating and encouraging material.
Excellent presentation, THX
This mans vocabulary is impecable!!
im 21... saw the whole thing... good material
Interesting video..! thanks for upload it..!
My my the enlightenment was filled with such aethism
Brain Gym helps. I like the idea that learning a music instrument is a great way to learn learning again. Somewhere else I heard that talking is one of the best brain gyms (much better than sudoku).
I am happy that a woman was asking questions at the end, because a very important word was spoken: "emotions". I think emotions are very important. If I can play the violine like a pro and play chess like Kasparov all this IQ things do not help if I have a low EQ.
The approbations/affirmatives ratio is an important reason why your brain is in the current shape. But the good news: It is in your hand and you can influence you (your brain) even if you are old. Thank you for these good news.
Of course Dr. Michael Merzenich is advertising his computer aided learning programs :-)
My personal brain gym includes rope skipping, juggling, tongue-twisters, playing tennis, playing piano and of course the daily interaction with my family.
Nice video. Could be shorter, but still useful.
You are incredible.
Great presentation! very interesting subject here, I just had to look into it about. cause I know I was starting to lose the ability on work on my computer and remembering well like before.
Regarding the section around 33:30 -- This does not always apply. For a matter of fact, my brothers and I were capable of speaking,reading and writing in *3* different languages by the age of 4. We never liked to read though, so we cant give much credit to books (never the less, being students, we *had* to read)... And yet, by the age of 9 we were learning our *7th language*. Now, it is obvious that we have developed a much wider vocabulary than most people in the world. But my point is, what you say in section 33:30 is not entirely correct, my brothers and I were never exposed to a good learning environment, meaning our parents discussed all the time, we do not spontaneously read, and nobody forces us into trying to memorize a language. Instead we just absorb all the words we hear during the day like a sponge and this has always worked that way. My brothers and I are *now* actually putting effort into learning more languages, but not because we can not pick learn them as easy as we used to, but because we want to learn them faster. Faster than most people are able to. Point again being, that the amount of knowledge we acquire strongly depends in how our brain selects what is important and what is not, and not that much on how that knowledge is given to us at early age.
Thank you, kabuuc. I'm going there now.
I don't have to be a neuron scientist to know there is a direct correlation to brain development and environment and the truth is the scientific community and general community has also always knowknown this.
I agree. but the ones who can actually help in doing this are more or less under wraps. Doctors, neuropsychologists, therapists, psychiatrists either don't know or they won't say. I try to get mine to help me, but they act like there is no such thing. So they keep trying to push the meds and therapy and I don't get any better. It's not fair.
Epoch 4 - Gaining conscious control of your neural plasticity using tools such as biofeedback, self-improvement training, and Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Activities you can engage include learning languages. You don't need to be glued to textbooks or repetitive exercises but instead start watching interesting videos in another language and pick up vocabularies along the way. At the same time you started to notice people's mistakes in a common language like English: wo"r"ld instead of wo"u"ld, though & thought"t", lo"o"se and lose that came out correct in a spell check but wrong for the context of a paragraph.
Learning music at an older age? Personally took piano around 8. Didn't get anywhere and gave up after a few lessons. In Midlife after work got into playing piano keyboard and never stop since. The last 6 months got myself into playing pieces even people who took up piano for many years when they were younger can't believe it is possible. Do you need to start playing at age 5 or can you start at age 35? Only your personal determination will give you the answer.
Basically our lives are wired into routines such as sleeping, eating, watching certain programs on TV. Learning a new skill as a hobby you rewire your routine such as watching news but in French, Spanish or Chinese instead of English. Definitely learning needs to be fun.

Yes, especially in 1st world countries we must learn math and engineering, robotics and computer science.
I think I will aggressively engage my brain today with a content - rich learning environment...has anybody got any magic mushrooms ! !
Learn something new today www.increaseyourknowledge.com/ ...fun and interesting facts you probably Didnt know.
Dead link. Thanks for wasting our time, half-wit.
@@TheDavidlloydjones unnecessary (also, you DID click a 2 year old link, so...)
Beautiful! Where's the follow up? We might have it!
This is the best way I can explain what he means. Lets say a computer with windows is just like your body. The hardware is our body and the software is our being. As in our personality and what makes you, you. So, it's just a misunderstanding of what you mean by person. It's not pro-abortion, it's just what you consider a person, the being (experiences) , or the body.
Ooh! Merzenich! I read about his work in The Brain That Changes Itself. This is very interesting stuff. I'm actually planning to buy the Posit Science software, if nothing else to correct the auditory processing disorder I have. But I expect it will have great transfer.
I'm 15 years old and this looks interesting i'll watch the video tomorrow :)
All those who could not follow this lecture and/or fell asleep are really the ones that need it..tune their sleepy underactive brains
thank you
Technically a baby is a person if he is identified by others. A mother will identify him as her son, a doctor as a patient, the government, his family, etc. But what the speaker meant was the other definition of person which includes personality.
49:40 "We confuse the acquisition of content for the acquisition of new ability."
If you can teach that to the 90% of UA-camrs who commit an unhealthy amount of their daily time to that exact branch of non-philosophy you should be given an award.
exellent points........esp loved the "30 miilion word" difference between poor and educated parents reflected in their children....30 million words more ariving at their first encounter with the school system......never had a chance.....the poor kids. ..
I enjoy most of Hitchens debates and remarks here in youtube, I have heard of the book and I think it would be really interesting to read it, I will try to honor your recommendation at some point this year or the beguinning of the rest. I currently have bought lots of books on several subjects and I am having problems fullfilling my reading plan on so many varied subjects as science analytical philosophy, General relativity, spanish literature, Quantum mechanics, mathematics, logic, and so on
In terms of mental health, justified underlying rational 'guilt' can block progress. It's easy to respond well to CBTmethods when a person has been a fair and co-operative person all their lives, - it would be good to know how to help people progress when they have been unfair and punishing to others and suffering mental illness.
its like trying to open a locked door without the right key. Not going to happen anytime soon. Any type of therapy requires input from the person receiving that therapy but if they don't want to co operate then its hard to help them help themselves..
I couldn't agree more with you ;-)
Well it's good that your looking into it
@paulflute In case you genuinely can't figure it out, his point was this: Monkeys are useful study subjects because their brains work similar to ours as a consequence of our two species sharing a recent common ancestor.
A cuttlefish or an Octopus, no matter how intelligent, wouldn't make a good study subject in this sense because any findings about the nature of cephalopod intelligence would be far less likely to hold any meaning concerning the nature of human intelligence.
Amazing.
Very interesting.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Without dismissing Hitchen´s book, I believe it would be better if you could offer mainstream literature on sociology and psychology studies and present position on the subject.
I would really like to see a creativity aspect of this brain function analysis.
Exactly my thought too!
@59:28 mentions the websites where you can buy the software.
Sorry I'm very motivated always there is a point of logic that MUST BE FINISHED PERIOD DEPENDS ON CASE NOT GENERAL FACTS
It might be beneficial for you to re-listen to this discussion. Many times does he explain that his product achieves a positive result over the alternative methods we are currently using in teaching. He also explains how it produces positive results in the training and in the brain (of any age).
an hour of that just to be told i should try really hard to learn stuff all the time.
Very true. They are not 'natural sciences'. I agree in the case of psychiatry oddly enough, even though I do put a great deal of stock into psychology. It just seems to fit my experience, and a lot of others experience, being experiential. But, you make a good point. However it is 'scientific', in the same sense that it is experiential, even if maybe it is not a 'science' in the strictest sense.
I love engaging conversation, Namaskar.
Ones logarithmic inward spherical wave fronts of mind is positive energy compression! Its opposite expression in two opposed spiral wave fronts of normal mind is its exponentially expanded negative reflection of broken symmetry.
Once a neurons voltage has reached a certain level of energy compression it will fire an electrical signal to other cells, which will repeat the process. When many neurons fire at same time, we can measure these changes in different wave fronts, alpha, theta and gamma.
@Medech2012 I totally aggree... I have recently consumed Shinzen Young's audiobook, and quite a few ideas are the same.
Simply, " Enter the kingdom as a child".
Yes I know. Though this was some time ago for me. I've been patient all of my life, but when it comes to topics on the human mind it takes a great deal of effort to pay attention, and I don't have the money or the time anymore. Thus rendering my comment on here useless.
Could you please inform me what science area is this data from? thanks.
I was thinking the same thing, LOL, perhaps we can both benefit from this video provided it helps with concentration.
I am convinced that in the future we will connect our body to devices that will help us learn. We just need to come up with good concepts.
@Medech2012 yea and turning of TV frequency modulators.
=-)
This is a great talk that deals with your question. He's a slow start, but gets better as he goes along!

@The3nlightened0ne
I'm 29. Does that count as my 20s?
If you try to be like a kid seeing the world as it is ..not trough abstract interpretations ..but consciously seein everything with enthusiasm .commiting to that ..also choosing to pay more attention on everything ..we as we get more experience we start to ignore some information that we already know .and that's bad for learning new stuff.
+I don't get all the english jokes think young.
Seeing the world as new like a kid is a good idea in theory. In reality, it is
difficult . Why ? Because of disillusion . First a child finds out that there
is no Santa Claus , no good tooth fairy , ect.... Mommy & Daddy don't really
love each other & so on . Mix that with the fact that children have a super
forward movement drive . They don't dwell on the past . Trying to be like a
kid without the stuff that kids have that makes them that way is not easy .
The last thing I will mention is that re-wiring the brain takes a long time ; longer
than most people feel like investing in . It amazes me how so many people
give talks with exciting titles but by the end of the talk you realize that they
haven't given you much you can use or get excited about .
its like a plant who has grown on the side walks... were soil is limited but its still thrives and grows inspite the harsh environment... you got me good awesome comment
Think static on the radio... and how you have to really strain to listen and still some vital bits are undecipherable, requiring you to fill in the gaps (resorting to abstract thinking) or just tune it out almost entirely as unattainable?
fantastic
more importantly to me which isnt covered by him is morality and teaching our kids to be able to visualize them selves in the other persons shoes, who can see how what they do affects others just to stop the hate and selfishness in our overall society, that if uncured will continue to kill millions and ruin billions of lives
WOW! Great point. Bullying, for instance starts in kindergarten and continues to gay bashing, women bashing and bashing anyone else who appears to be different and vulnerable.
exellent
Oh yes sure I am always interested on being informed and learning, I hope you found the articles and my comments informing, interesting and thought provoking. regards.
Russell himself co-authored a three-volume manuscript on the foundations of (even simple) mathematics; his arguments had to jive with our understanding of the subject matter, i.e. had to reach certain conclusions, and yet we consider that to be a work of philosophy. Russell and his peers sometimes had difficulty evaluating themselves with the same lens they used to criticize others.
Psychologists often put an ill deserved emphasis upon the brain's restructuring capabilities, saying that this makes them radically different from computers. What they fail to realize is that brains are still deterministic, operating according to the laws of physics, and can be modeled on computers.
"come back to reality" what does it mean exactly? and why we need to come back? what if we don't? ( these questions might be answer to my problems )
at the 43:00 mark when he is showing the brains on the charts. my take on why we humans go thought this is because of the kid own mind. i understand the research behind this very good work show here but the kid have to want to learn in school. if the kid do not want to learn then try to find out what the kid might like and try to go into that. this school system was design at least 100 years ago times has changed now. u must be creative with kids or you will have a hard time teaching them the things u think is important for them. u cannot do that. show the kids a lot of things that u do in life as well as all types of different events that u yourself and others should have gone thought so you can know how to teach in that given moment and see if the kid likes it. investigate everything without letting kids know. teach your kid how to directly relate to everything positive because this is hard to do with kids sometimes. teach kids how to be problem solvers. teach kids that nothing stays the same life changes.
Thought provoking. I wonder what Epoch will be reached in another century? We have an accelerating rate of change in our brain development?
So where is this Brian Fitness Program software?
I am and I am 20 going to be 21 in may.
@sonydogman Sun Tzu, Lao Tze, Bruce Lee, and Wong Fei Hung, just to name a few.
Pretty nice. :]
i am!
im 22 by now and i watch this shit constantly...i cant live a week without at least 5 documentaries
anything that has do to with pshysic,environmental,technological scienece and so on...
Where be this software then...?
I'm pretty sure he means sensory experience. There are various sorts of mindfulness meditation that might be useful.
I was only able to get through so much on my lunch break but wondering, how does the lack of audible words/sounds effect the development of children born deaf? I'm sure they are still able to grow into intelligent human beings, but if words/sounds are not there, what pushes the child's brain to grow stronger and in some cases surpass the child with language?
I would say primarily Psychology and Sociology. You could go beyond that, but it's not needed.
Useful presentation.
! doppelganger at 40:37 !
I am and I am 20 going to be 21 in May.
Why has not anyone changed the slide at 32:44 ? Approbation & Affirmation mean precisely the same thing. Approbation derives from the root word Approve while Affirmation derives from the root word Affirm.
The word approbation has had its meaning unfortunately and ignorantly diluted by having "sanction" (an intrinsically antithetical term) as part of its meaning. For the purpose of this video replacing "approbation" with "condemnation" would have been a more appropriate.
@DGHProductions agreed.
where do we find the training for adult's

@paulflute: I argued against/commented on what you wrote, and I told you what I SUSPECTED your viewpoint was. Expressing a suspicion is different from making an assumption. I did not argue against my own suspicion. You should never be flattered by attention, only by praise. I have a morbid fascination with your ability to see what isn't there, and ignore what is.
I noticed the audience all had something in common.
