- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why is there a stigma associated with our brain's health? Consider that
the brain is the most powerful, most staggeringly complex
electro-biochemical machine ever created. Above and behind our eyes are
100 billion neurons in a small calcium shell, laced with organic pumps,
channels and switches. Until recently, this complicated organ was thought
to be static and unchangeable. Far from it. Learn from Dr. Sandra Bond
Chapman, founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth at The
University of Texas at Dallas seven scientifically-validated secrets
anyone can implement to improve brain performance.
Sandra Bond Chapman, Ph.D., founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas, Dee Wyly Distinguished University Chair and author of Make Your Brain Smarter, is committed to maximizing human cognitive potential across the entire human lifespan. As a cognitive neuroscientist with more than 40 funded research grants and federal, state and private philanthropic support, Dr. Chapman’s scientific study elucidates and applies novel approaches to build brain resilience, advance creative and critical thinking, strengthen healthy brain development and repair brain function after brain injury or brain disease.
Dr. Chapman collaborates with scientists across the country and around the world to solve some of the most important issues concerning the brain and its health. On the frontier of brain research, her scientific study melds interdisciplinary expertise to better understand how to evaluate and achieve optimal brain performance through preserving frontal lobe function, the area of the brain responsible for reasoning, planning and decision-making. Dr. Chapman is actively studying the informative pathways to brain change in health, injury and disease; identifying brain health biomarkers and novel non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment approaches, and testing the effect of brain training to exploit brain potential. Dedicated to improving lives today and changing how the public thinks and acts about the brain and its health, Dr. Chapman is committed to promoting brain health fitness, developing futuristic thinkers, and helping individuals, young or old, think smarter.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Summary:
1. SINGLE TASK - CONCENTRATE ON ONE TASK AT A TIME. MULTI TASK = BAD
2. INHIBIT INFORMATION - DON'T BE DISTRACTED BY INFORMATION . TOO MUCH INFO = BAD.... LEARN TO LIMIT TO ESSENTIAL INFO.
3. DETOX DSTRACTION - ELIMINATE DISTRACTION INCLD TECHNOLOGY
4. BIG IDEA THINKING - TAKE AN IDEA AND SYNTHESIS IT WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW
5. CALIBRATE - ORDER TASKS IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE... DONT WASTE TIME ON INSIGNIFICANT TASK'S
6. INNOVATION -- USE YOUR CREATIVITY
7. MOTIVATION --- MOTIVATION > TALENT ...TRY TO MAKE TASKS MORE INNOVATIVE AND INTERESTING TO YOU.
your welcome.
Thank you very much!!!!
+squiggle dash thanks a lot
+squiggle dash thank you
Thank you very much man for ur summary of the video people like you save our precious time in the earth :)
Akash John John he saved my precious time in the mars :)
1. Single task 2. Inhibit information 3. Detox Distractions 4. The big idea 5. Calibrate mental effort 6. Innovation 7. Motivation
I multitask every day. Today while watching this and multitasking as always. As soon as she said the first one. I immediately closed out other tabs of what I was doing and focused on her. Thank you for the video.
Minimalism is the approach of high performance.Few things/less info(input)=more concentration/more energy(output).
PS: I am simply synthesising.
Aakarsh Sharma 👍👍👍
Regular meditation combined with some basic breathing exercises throughout the day will skyrocket your mental abilities through the roof. In fact, every aspect of your being will benefit greatly.
"we are the drivers and mechanics of the most powerful engine in the world". -- we most certainly are - my belief is take something from every lecture and you build an immense knowledge from many sources and remember we are all unique and therefore we will absorb and apply information in different ways as Sandra illustrated at the beginning of her lecture with the story she told.... Thankyou Sandra ....,
I feel so validated by all of this. I literally live by all of these rules and I do well.
I changed my brain and I'm 60yrs. I have it documented. I'm smarter today than ever in my life.
GLAD science is proving that multi-tasking is bunk...
MetalheadYA could multitasking for generations lead to a mutation in which our kin get bigger faster and stronger brains though?
Narciso Chavez Nope just more misdiagnosing ADHD
But multi threading works; know the difference
@@chrisnamaste3572 im curious on your definition of multithreading. For me "multi tasking" is focussing on one task (which takes time for every task to dive into) switch to focus to another task ... and so on. Now throw your cents in :)
Multitasking gives low fps
In 12 minutes Dr. Chapman summarizes what it takes to ensure excellence in brain mastery and brain health -- a vital and fascinating theme considering that our brains are both the engines of our lives and the filters through which we see and understand reality. One of the best UA-cam videos and TedTalks i've ever seen -- and i watch hundreds each year. Honored and grateful for TEDTalks, UA-cam, the internet, and Dr. Chapman and her colleagues around the world that are creating a vital current for all of us out there working on ushering in a new age of enlightenment and a more loving, ethical, scientific, spiritual, and meaningful worldview and development paradigm.
Thank you soo much for breaking down this higher concioussness concept into words and formula. Much appreciated.
Didn't mention sleep, which is a huge factor for good mental performance, but is often ignored.

humanyoda watch 3:00, nobody is challenging sleep.
humanyoda sleep is a luxury to me. Finals and college assignments.
Yes, sleep very important.
@@machetex7589 Then you need to focus some of your efforts on learning how to learn and "supercharge" that college process. Doing so can help you in more ways than most people can even conceive. Another thing that is becoming more known since you posted is the idea of intermittent fasting and how fasting affects the brain and body. Fasting is a regenerative process and causes a rise in stem cell count and those factors that increase the growth of neurons. So do some research on the subject and apply what seems logical to you.
Thank you, Ms. Bond Chapman, for this inspiring and insightful TED Talk. I appreciate the clarity and passion with which you presented and explained the 7 practices to improve our brain performance. I agree that we still have a lot to learn and a lot of work to do, to spread these facts to our fellow people in the community. Let's do this and thereby improve our brain health and healthy living habits!
Focus, out of the box thinking, critical thinking, filtering, innovation... Lots of relevant keys here since 2014 and now already 2019. Thanks!
“Sleep” The number one nootropic. Quality and adequate quantity.
Awesome!! I’m going to remember her name. She hit a nerve with me.
Thank you Sandra and thank you Ted x talks for a great video well done to you all
fantastic!
great info , great speaker
thanks a lot!
been a while since I heard a TED talk I liked. This is very good.
Yes... U started with a perfect example we are all have our own valyable contribution to make..!
I really enjoyed this Ted talk, thank you
We're what we think/believe, and sometimes eat. I know that without being told by so-called experts. If you know what you want out of your life, and are determined with it, nothing really matters. We need to be level headed - emotion and rational need to go together. We need to act upon what we believe is righteous, not right. Many people are already confused to make a difference between the right and the righteous. In order to have integrity, we need to keep learning and experiencing life. That's all there is to everyone's life. It all depends on how seriously we're interested in living each day fulfillingly according to your spiritual belief. Nothing complicated like this talk.
Great presentation, it is short and precisely!
William Williams he’s obviously not a native speaker dickwad
Beautiful talk! Thank you!
That was a nice presentation, well done.
Always Awesome...
Crazy informative ! Thank you dude !!!!!
Straightforward and succinct for a ted talk
Excellent work! Sensible, useful.
thank u as a disabled nurse always fascinated with the brain n its miraculous recoveries i loved your talk thank you. the brain is an amazing part of us for sure
Meg Ortiz .., ,lk
Read Doidge's, the Brain that Changes Itself
thanks for the summary..
Loved this one!!
Excellent advice. I find many of those points overlap with the Pomodoro Technique I'm using for working. It's so motivating when you see same points being validated across different media :)
Daniel Kaluza m,
I know the pomodoro techniques but I can't see how you're relating it to this video? Please elaborate if could
Absolutely superb.
Wow what a great talk on improving the brain
10:22 >>> R.I.P. dear little Bubbles.
Your motivation will always inspire us all.
Well... kinda.
i just love how passionate she is :)
Thank you Madam!!!
Thank you
Amazing stuff.
Great idea ...👍👍👍 the most important thing is the front cortex
'what if we could manifest this powerful talk in our educational system , WORLDWIDE TOMORROW !
favourite video ever...!!!
You were born to live and to figure out all the Ways"Not to Die .Not give Up.
My 🧠 is powerful! Thanks for the informations🙏
This was important thanks
Good message on Brain study by Dr.Sandra Bond Chapman.ph.D. The seven secrets are really a great idea to use the brain effectively. Thank you.
U must be her hubby. Or u escaped the same institution.
Wonderful Information.
Great stuff here. I'm not gonna be doing any of that, but sound advice to be sure
Good talk. I wish she would have added in the first point, Single Task, that this is an advantage. One of the two great things the brain can do is commit put all its resources on one problem. The other is that it can pull together bits of brain processing areas - neural assemblies - to solve that problem. I think it was Greenfield who said that.
Thank you maam
thank you so much maam
It is insightfull
Great video
Thanks for these meaningful strategies towards a better career life i'll use these important step to create my own dreams and hopefully get a chance to work for my dream job! God bless us always universe!
Habits should have also been mentioned. Incredibly powerful things
Also, The Art of Stress-Free Productivity: David Allen is quite a good talk about a similar topic
Magic mushrooms too
They help break bad habits and addictions.
80% of a test group was able to quit smoking cigarettes after using mushrooms.
This piece is groundbreaking; much like a book that was groundbreaking when published. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
An exmaple of those who achieve this is Warren Buffett investor in his eighties and still inspiring and growing his business and profits. You might not approve of his goals but he is living it.
very good
People exaggerate so much if u really notice it: Brian took it apart and put it back together in a BLINK of an eye, I had always wanted to be an astronaut but I realized in THAT SINGLE moment I must learn about the brain, because there was the true discovery to be learned. Weren't u a kid when this happened? I doubt you thought all that crap.
Rich L
Agreed.
Even I don't think it's true.
Neither the autistic boy dismantling and re-assembling the equipment, nor some kid realising in a moment what s/he had to do in life.
She's used it as a figure of speech or maybe to give an interesting start to her lecture.
But the message is valuable.
She sounds like a shallow salesman.
The only things that may sound exaggerated are the choose of adjectives and adverbs she uses, otherwise as a kid from my experience these were normal thoughts
"Innovation fuels motivation" - really great idea to try out and see how motivation increases by encouraging innovation. Thanks!
Sandra great info! Thank you. I do think there's a better line than using "hunting elephants" though.😉
I have tried a lot of things to hack brain from pills to brain exercising. The most important things are managing stress and quality sleep. Nothing can beat that things.
What exactly is big idea thinking anyway? Not enough detail here to implement her ideas even if I wanted to.
damn son, great talk
1.single task; 2.inhibit information; 3.detox distraction; 4.big idea thinking; 5.calibrate; 6.innovation; 7motivation.
thank you sweetheart :)
I love this lady
eros?
Why?
Conscious brain/ mind can do one thing at a time; learned muscle memory can perform 3-5 separate tasks: i.e. fly a helicopter or operate an excavator.
Good one Ralph. And of course, that is the brain doing that too. So we can multitask once memory goes from episodic to routine. And yet, even that is not completely true. The reason you can't see things as easily when you drive and talk on the phone is because the language processing area hijacks a lot of your visual cortex to make meaning.
Don’t hunt elephants! (Unless you want to keep them safe from poachers) Thank you for the talk.
Duck Well Dowell yes I too noticed that's not a good analogy. Why hunt animals at all? But I did get the point of prioritising time and effort.
I would think chasing rabbits is harder than chasing elephants.. Wooly video.
Literally.
didnt hve ny ide bout ny of this stuff. ty.
not so much 'addicted' to the ping of technology so much as worried if I don't look at the message I might miss something urgent...not doing that anymore. Do not disturb function will become a regular friend!
very good, less is more
The best window to improve the brain is the first year of life.
The best window is to attempt improvement at all. Not nearly enough people even try at any time.
I'm still fuzzy on what Big Idea Thinking is, it seemed a bit too abstract to lock down into a practicable tenet.
because she is confusing terminology herself :)
She's pretty amazing
Midoriya to
This single task stuff makes me think about how a computer has a certain RAM capacity and this determines how many programs it can run at once, computers can run multiple programs but at a lower efficiency rate as opposed to just having one program working. Sounds a lot like us
8:23 lol longest sentence ever
I think that I may have damage to my prefrontal cortex, as things that I normally cared about such sports, movies and even conversations do not feel important, nothing does to me and I would like to get it healed if that is possible
Edit: Also, if you see this, please don’t ignore, I don’t know what my problem is but I want it done fast, I don’t want to keep waiting for it to “just go away on it’s on”. It’s been a year and nothing has changed
It’s created to “rewire” the Brain, not require.
Also may want to get mold, or metal testing done if you don’t know the cause for your experience. A functional practitioner can order these labs for you too.
She sounds like Kitty Foreman from 'That 70's Show' "haaaaa hahahahaa"
Iam only commenting so that if some one arives here that linked notifications will be a reminder for me thanks in advance
What is missing in this video? Specific examples referred to in each paragraph.
3:17 video starts
It's not about single task, it's about distraction and very hard to not engage in the distraction because it felt like unfinished biz for ppl with compulsiveness.. And once you attended to the distraction it takes u hours like shopping online for food supplies, coz you hate to be hungry when you jst started on your taak,after hours on distractions then you felt tired and needed rest, you are aware of it, but can't help to engage in the distractiom.. And after one distraction when you switch back to the task u have another distraction, it's very hard to ignore the distraction cox u think the distraction only takes 10min but it takes 40min or 1hr...the whole day is mostly just distractions.
If all generations multi task this may hurt us individually but as a species could this lead to a mutation or evolve into our brains being better at multi tasking and thus making us more capable to do things?
My brain prime time is 2 hours before sleep FeelsBadMan
Kyuun I can relate!
Neuroscience and emotionss
You are in the 20% of the owls, vs 10% who are larks and are strongest in the morning. I'll bet you have trouble before noon. More on Brain Rules Medina site about that.
this is true, motivation at the end is key, you want serotinine, is guiven by supporting humanity as a species not as an individual.. deceive yourself seeking false goals if you want.. the speaker is right lacs paission because didn't found yet this last fact... we evolved so we suport evolution of our own or all,
Jorge Quintanicho can't tell if I like but interesting please clarify.
Could any of you Guys explain what she means by 'big idea thinking'? Thank you.
+Łukasz P. "big idea thinking" is: When you leave your "status quo" thinking behind, and step outside of the "box" of your mind and look around there for all the infinite possibilities. By using your imagination to vision a great idea that you can use to advance your and others life. Then after finally you have that great idea that you've hopped for, then you need to create a plan on how to achieve it. Then, you must take immediate step-by-step persistent actions to bring your idea into reality.
***** You are absolutely correct. I newer understood why so many book readers are reading books so fast, that they have absolutely no chance to fully assimilate those informations into their mind. I rather read only two "good" books per month slowly, and as a result understand it fully, than read twenty books per month quickly in a hurry, and have remember of what they've contained vaguely.
***** That is a great way to find good books. I agree. The best way to find the best information in books, especially in self improvement books, is the way you do it. Reading as many books as you can, as fast as you can, and separating the best ones from the average, and rereading those books slowly which ones containing the best information. It is the best way to learn.
***** I like to read slowly because I want to make sure that I fully understand everything. But of course we are not all the same, we are wired differently in our brains. So we must figure it out for ourselves what works best for us.
Same as the rest. No substance but a lot of talk.
Can any body make turkish subtitle for this video
Notifications on our phones means never being in the 'now'.
Can someone explain what big idea thinking is? I have watched it three times and i still dont understand.
What are examples of multitasking that are bad for you? If you walk on the treadmill and read a book at the same time does that have negative side effects?
multitastking is bad only if it combines 2 or more actions which you are supposed to perform consciously. Walking, breathing, etc. are automatised, they are being performed subconsciously and dont interfere with the task at hand.
How to memorize in short time
this is the most exciting subject in the world !!! And she's putting me to sleep
Sounds like Grandma telling a bedtime story.
im so changed by my intelLect
i never disturbed by there. being more to me of the lesser worthy to a task in hand or elswhere in time ... oh? ralys si eman ym
Great 7 secret ...
But why 7?
if everything is connected 7 is holy and respected..
7 is introvert and solitary (based on numerology)
And this day i constantly hear 7...
likely on every tedx talks
Weird for me frankly....
anyway i will definitely use this 7 SECRET!!
to innovate new things!! :)

I wish highly intelligent people would stop using the term "High Octane" incorrectly. High octane is not the increase of power but lowering the likeliness of premature detonation at a less than optimum compression or before the spark plug discharges. It is better to use the correct octane for the engine rather than the highest available. It takes away the effectiveness of a speaker when they try to convey a great idea with inaccurate word choices. With that said, I am sure someone will find numerous grammar flaws in my comment. My excuse is that I am not a highly intelligent person but just an ever struggling idiot that tries to learn. :-)
um...look at the chemical make of 89 octane and 115 octane what is burn rate difference
89 octane burns easier, that's why it causes detonation in high compression engines. John is right.
Lol if they are talking to you John O'Neil I'm sure they'll soon realize their grand mistake 😂

toolmike100 which is ironically counterintuitive. Lol
