Comments on: Brain Training Tweet-Tip Videos Coming! http://thebraintrainingblog.com/2010/01/24/brain-training-tweet-tip-01/ Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:23:58 -0500 hourly 1 By: Doug Bench http://thebraintrainingblog.com/2010/01/24/brain-training-tweet-tip-01/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Doug Bench Fri, 29 Jan 2010 12:58:41 +0000 http://thebraintrainingblog.com/2010/01/24/brain-training-tweet-tip-01/#comment-34 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?" Thanks for your comments Franis!

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.
