Brain Training Tweet-Tip Videos Coming!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I have over the last 10 months posted over 500 different “tweets” on twitter that are short quotes/tips of brain-science wisdom that can help you improve your brain fitness and performance. That’s the good news!
The bad news is, as you know, twitter limits your quote or statement to just 140 characters. Therefore it’s pretty hard to post a useful quote and EXPLAIN that brain tip quote, and how you can use it in just 140 dots.
The good news is that here on The Brain Training Blog, I (and you!) are not limited to just 140 spaces! Therefore I am going to regularly post some of my brain training-brain building-performance enhancing tweet-tips here AND THEN-go way past 140 spaces to use neuroscience to explain the tip and how you can use it to improve the performance of your brain.
At the same time, I will be making these little “Brain Training Tweet Tips!” into short 3-5 minute videos that I will post on www.youtube.com under our channel “Doug The Brain Training Guy” Watch for all this to start later this week (by February 1,2010)
In the meantime, ponder this Brain Training Tweet-Tip:
“Man is the only known creature in the Universe who can use his brain to study his brain. Therefore there is nothing more important and vital to your achievements than the scientific study of your own brain. Learn how your brain works, and you can learn to make it work better…”
I am excitedly looking forward to your comments to this and all of our “Brain Training Tweet Tips” and other blog posts.

Although at first I thought that your unique way of presenting your talks on youtube have the air of a snake oil salesman – later I realized that you’re very entertaining and playful with your subject. I particularly enjoy the way you introduce brain facts, and then articulately help us understand how to put these together into what these facts can mean for us in our personal and business lives.
I would sincerely want to make a request for a future show. I would love it if you addressed brain mirror neurons and what that means for us.
The reason for my personal interest in this discovery is I teach a form of education (called Alexander Technique,) that is conveyed by guided-modeling, so that is where my interest in “mirror neurons” comes from.
Thanks for your comments Franis! I am sure with that “snake oil” comment you were referring to the reptilian portion of the brain
I am very appreciative of your suggestion to do a video or article on the function and effect of “mirror” neurons. VERY important for students of brain science based higher achievements to understand and implement! I will be working on that asap! In the meantime, from my twitter quotes: “Brains brim with original ideas, but they also love to imitate. Neurons constantly watch what other people are doing and mime (mirror) it themselves. That’s how we learn. Who are you learning from?”
