Psychology Brain

Cómo ayudar a tu hijo a desarrollar su potencial intelectual y emocional. Durante los seis primeros años de vida el cerebro infantil tiene un potencial que no volverá a tener. Esto no quiere decir que debamos intentar convertir a los niños en pequeños genios, porque además de resultar imposible, un cerebro que se desarrolla bajo presión puede perder por el camino parte de su esencia. Este audiolibro es un manual práctico que sintetiza los conocimientos que la neurociencia ofrece a los padres y educadores....

What is consciousness and how can a brain, a mere collection of neurons, create it? In Consciousness and the Social Brain, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano lays out an audacious new theory to account for the deepest mystery of them all. In Graziano's theory, the machinery that attributes awareness to others also attributes it to oneself. Damage that machinery and you disrupt your own awareness. Graziano discusses the science, the evidence, the philosophy, and the surprising implications of this new theory.

Doctors Newberg and Monti's team at Thomas Jefferson University's Marcus Institute of Integrative Health are at the forefront of research in brain functioning and applications of the most advanced understanding in real-world strategies to expand options for optimizing our complex neurophysiology. Their findings show that optimal brain health is achievable by successfully weaving together a tapestry of our bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions.

Not long ago, it had been thought that the mind that you were born was the mind you'd perish with, which the brain cells you'd at birth would be the most you'd ever have. Your mind was believed to be "hardwired" to operate in specified ways. It turns out that is not correct. Your mind isn't hardwired, it is "softwired" through expertise. This book teaches you how it is possible to rewire pieces of the mind to feel more confident in your daily life, stay calm during stressful times, and also boost your own social relationships.

Self-control may be the least-coveted fruit of the Spirit. But the truth is that people who are successful at self-control have freer, happier lives, and we all want that. After all, our bad habits - from the slight to the serious - bring with them a host of negative emotions, take up our time, and keep us from being the best version of ourselves.

Persuasion is the knowledge of communication techniques that will help you achieve your goals by educating others about your point of view. Identifying it, particularly from someone who is fluent in it, can be challenging. The art of persuasion also needs to be learned by administrators and leaders, as it can greatly improve their work. Manipulation is one's ability to handle, control, or use something or someone.

What does a three-pound brain have to do with one’s sex life? A lot, actually. Hooked is about what’s happening to your brain when you’re having sex. Learn about your brain, the positive effects of sex within permanently committed relationships, and how you can protect yourself (especially your brain) from the dangers of casual sex.

Bestselling author Leonard Shlain explores the life, art, and mind of Leonardo da Vinci, seeking to explain his singularity by looking at his achievements in art, science, psychology, and military strategy (yes), and then employing state of the art left-right brain scientific research to explain his universal genius. Shlain shows that no other person in human history has excelled in so many different areas as Da Vinci and he peels back the layers to explore the how and the why.

What happens when we accept that everything we feel and think stems not from an immaterial spirit but from electrical and chemical activity in our brains? In this thought-provoking narrative - drawn from professional expertise as well as personal life experiences - trailblazing neurophilosopher Patricia S. Churchland grounds the philosophy of mind in the essential ingredients of biology. She reflects with humor on how she came to harmonize science and philosophy, the mind and the brain, abstract ideals and daily life.

We live in a world that is always on, where everyone is always connected. But we feel increasingly disconnected. Why? The answer lies in our brains. Carl D. Marci, MD, a leading expert on social and consumer neuroscience, reviews the mounting evidence that overuse of smart phones and social media is rewiring our brains, resulting in a losing deal: we are neglecting the relationships that sustain us and keep us healthy in favor of weaker and more ephemeral ties. Rewired provides scientifically supported solutions for everyone who wants to restore their tech-life balance.

Trauma is much closer to home than many of us think. It affects those fleeing wars and veterans returning from combat. Yet, it also affects those who grew up with alcoholics or those who were subjected to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. In his book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk goes into detail about how this changes the way we think and offers an in-depth look at the new treatments that can help overcome trauma and reshape the brain.

Applying insights from neuroscience to philosophical questions about the self, consciousness, and the healthy mind. Can we "see" or "find" consciousness in the brain? How can we create working definitions of consciousness and subjectivity, informed by what contemporary research and technology have taught us about how the brain works? How do neuronal processes in the brain relate to our experience of a personal identity? Where does the brain end and the mind begin?

You'll also discover evidence-based strategies grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience to manage psychological and physical—or somatic—symptoms—so you can get back to your life.

Sebastian Seung, a dynamic professor at MIT, is on a quest to discover the biological basis of identity. He believes it lies in the pattern of connections between the brain’s neurons, which change slowly over time as we learn and grow. The connectome, as it’s called, is where our genetic inheritance intersects with our life experience. It’s where nature meets nurture. Seung introduces us to the dedicated researchers who are mapping the brain’s connections, neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse.

A look at the extraordinary ways the brain turns thoughts into actions - and how this shapes our everyday lives. In On Task, cognitive neuroscientist David Badre presents the first authoritative introduction to the neuroscience of cognitive control - the remarkable ways that our brains devise sophisticated actions to achieve our goals. We barely notice this routine part of our lives. Yet, cognitive control, also known as executive function, is an astonishing phenomenon that has a profound impact on our well-being.

There is a process called neuroplasticity that occurs inside the human brain that essentially allows the development of new brain cells. New brain cells are born out of new experiences. The application of positive or negative habits can transform you, respectively, into a better or worse person. So, can you really learn to rewire your brain through the construction of new habits, positive restructuring of thoughts, becoming more organized, and zeroing in on your mental health problems? Yes, you can!

Do you like puzzles, coding, and taking things apart? Do you write stories, act in plays, slay at Wordle? The things you are good at are clues to how your brain works. Are you good at math? Working with your hands? Are you a neat freak or a big mess? With her knack for making science easy to understand, Temple Grandin explains different types of thinkers: verbal thinkers who are good with language, and visual thinkers who think in pictures and patterns. You will discover all kinds of minds and how we need to work together to create solutions to help solve real-world problems.
