Time for SharpBrains’ October e-newsletter, this time discussing a range of research findings and technologies revolutionizing brain and mental health.
New thinking about cognition, brain and mind:
- Study suggests the real deficit underlying Attention Deficit Disorders is not Attention, but Working Memory (and this is why we asked you try adding 333 and 888…)
- Johns Hopkins study shows how brain training, if correctly targeted, can enhance cognitive and brain performance
- We better train the mind as we train the body: with cross-training and in good company
Emerging toolkit for brain health & enhancement:
- Next: Brain scans to identify children at high risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) before symptoms appear
- Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can reduce fatigue in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Australian neurotech firm raises $4m to develop neurofeedback-based headband aimed at helping kids with autism relax and better engage
