    This is revolutionary in its entirety. I suffered three stroke last year October 2011. It took me one full year to recover. When the doctors said that I wouldn't walk again, I chose to reject their verdict. Determination wad key, faith wad the fuel, and action was the motor that all contributed to me walking, recalling the past, and the ability to project my future. Let us use our brain the way God wired it. I salute this doctor.

      Patricia Ann Google DNRS. It teaches you how to use neuroplasticity. Also look for a guy named Gupta. He offers the first 3 videos free. There is a free app called The Meaning of Life Experiment. Check it out.

    This is nothing short of incredible. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was a work of art. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling

    I am so happy to listen to Norman.. He is such an inspiration.. to me.. He is saying that we really should reexamine.. this.. Even the relationship between Brain and Culture..
    Neuro-plasticity.. Resilient brain is also a vulnerable brain..
    I would like to sit with him for several hours.. and then watch the changes and transformations..

    Doidge is brilliant. The Bible stated aeons ago , " As a person thinks, so are they". Doidge in his reporting of cutting edge research and healing that seems miraculous, is walking in this heritage and Biblical heritage.

    Norman you speak my non-language! Thank you so very much and am grateful to see this today of all daze. I am a survivor of a TBI (traumatic brain injury). I have a great sense of humour and say I got rid of all the trash :) You are putting in the language of man in this brief excerpt of some talk you gave and what is said to me is what I already know to be true.

    This is true, I was once at a seminar supported by the mental health industry that was explaining a bit about neuroplasticity but the people who were speaking were still in support of SSRIs. On one hand they were giving some hope with the new discoveries of np but on the other they still woulden't tell the truth about perscription drugs and how they can further complicate symtoms.

    Marshall McLuhan was talking about this years ago from the point of view of mediums (technologies, extentions of self) being the message(altering sense ratios).
    Humanity needs to stop talking (both internal and externally) to awaken to its other self, the unconscious right brain awareness.
    Doidge is bring it back into discussion... good job

    Wonderful. As a Buddhist student of Psychology, I am relieved to such a discovery. The misinformed dogma that is scientific materialism and it's subjective claim to objective reality, is riddled with narrow minded logical fallacy. It is in the best interest of mankind that we move on.

    Psychologist, William James also was thinking critically about the potential for brain plasticity in 1880s and 1890s... 'the phenomena of habit in living beings are due to the plasticity of the organic materials of which their bodies are composed' (James 1890).

    Dr. Norman Doidge's foreword in Jordan Petersons book '12 rules for life' was incredible.
    this speech is very inspiring. do any 'professionals' in the field work with this in mind ? what has come of this idea ? i dont hear much talk of it.

      caplin Grey I work with my clients on this in Substance abuse centers. The world of psychology and psychiatry still needs to catch up. This is revolutionary, unfortunately pharmaceutical companies have a lot of interest in the mental health field, so the old science fits for them. I learn a lot through Caroline leaf as well.

    If thought creates a new synaptic pathway, what happens when we meditate is the not the opposite. It's not just one thought it is the power put into that thought that brings about the synaptic change. Meditation is the key to healing the body. We also got to be realistic in nature and in that we must say that one who doesn't see change will not get change, also that one where there is no such avenue of change in saying there is no such thing, we prepare for the inevitable it is what it is. I don't resign to the later.

    The point is it doesn't change itself at all. "Thoughts" change the physical brain, that is referring to the 'mind' - which is not the brain at all.

    When one can remove themselves from the creation of another box of form of thought in matter, when it is not nurturing for the whole of Life, no matter what name, name, name it is given, will begin to 'see' how incredibly maliable, impermanent, and moveable we are as the Captains of our bioelectromagnetic water body vessel/vehicle/ships sailing on the Seas of Pure Energy of Light encodement.

    How is it possible we missed it? Early brain scientists thought the right hemisphere of the brain was for lower brain functions....why would a studied and learned, educated person think that. I assume because that part of the brain didn't directly affect language, so the right hemisphere was judged against language. I think that sheds light on our human concept of intelligence. Another example is to think animals have no soul, because they are judged against language? That make sense, they can't learn the things humans feel shameful. Language is such a powerful evoker of tribal efforts we've normalized it to the point where we judge each other based on it. The power of language is to have some help, or have someone do something for you, organize group efforts, learn something that someone else has figured out. As animals ourself we put language on a pedestal, we even think that language is a soul. It's really quite strange the stories we want to believe. And the reality we live in is something more, than what the competition of language will make story's about.

    In an early neuroplasticity period by switching TV off our brains are able to returns to homophobian-homeostasis stage. But those individuals already running naked on the streets and frightening people are damaged irreversible and its called PNSD . Since the majority of people in power already suffer from PNSD , community lost ability to defend them self. The solution widely discussed on opening camps in Siberia and Alaska would solve the problem, but the question remains what will happened with the Grizzly bear ?

    :) I can assure you that I'm perfectly healthy. You seem quite angry. There's no reason for you to make assumptions about my beliefs about abortion. I do believe that your intolerance is unhealthy however. Perhaps you could take the time and explain the problem with homosexuality beyond a one liner that doesn't mean anything : "If the plumbing don't fit it ain't legit!"

  • @gabrielcouture10

    There's nothing wrong with homosexuality so if that were the case who cares?
