Download or read book The Brain Builder written by Sue Hanson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chris Carson was a rebellious teen who faced a choice: either join the army or spend time in jail. He chose the army and was sent to Viet Nam. Later his company was caught and faced a firing squad. They were all killed, of course, and only Chris woke up weeks later rolling off a bed in New York, having been shot in the forehead, in the back, and with three fingers missing. In the meantime, he had met Jesus, who sent him back with a mission. From then on, Chris was able to invent amazing technology while still being subject to all the trials and frustrations everyone faces. This story is based on a real man's life-at least part one of it. Then it goes on to speculate what might happen to Chris and to the world with his artificial intelligence creation-Perceptor. This is a Christian action-adventure story that includes intrigue and evil-along with a love story or two-as we look into the possible future in the last days.

Download or read book Brain Building Nutrition written by Michael A. Schmidt, Ph.D. and published by Frog Books. This book was released on 2006-12-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new, updated edition of the classic book on brain performance and nutrition, Dr. Michael A. Schmidt provides a host of practical dietary information and new, ground-breaking research to support his findings. A remarkable but little known fact is that the brain is nearly 60 percent fat. The book begins with a quiz to measure the reader's brain fatty acid profile, and goes on to demonstrate the role of fat in the brain's structure and functioning. The author helps the reader distinguish between harmful and beneficial fats and oils, and warns the "French Fry Generation" of the dangers of a poor diet. The effects of nutrition on mood, memory and behavior are explained by a number of compelling case studies. Finally, the author presents various strategies for enhancing mental, physical and emotional intelligence through the conscious use of supplements and a healthy diet.

Download or read book Brain Building Games written by Kenneth M. Heilman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been known that cognitive (thinking and reasoning) stimulation of the brain’s cerebral cortex enhances the brain development of children and reduces degeneration with aging. In addition, competition enhances engagement. During long trips or while waiting, Heilman, a neurologist, along with his grandchildren, children, and son-in-law would play games. Studies of patients with brain injuries and functional brain imaging have revealed that different parts of the cerebral cortex perform different functions. We developed and selected games that we had fun playing, were competitive, did not need a computer or purchases, and stimulate different specific areas of the brain. In this book, we describe areas of the cerebral cortex and their functions. We then describe some games that may stimulate these areas, as well as provide enjoyment.

Download or read book The Interpersonal Neurobiology of Play Brain Building Interventions for Emotional Well Being written by Theresa A. Kestly and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurturing brain development in children through play. The mental health field has seen a significant shift in the past decade toward including a neuroscience perspective when designing clinical interventions. However, for many play therapists it has been challenging to apply this information in the context of play therapy. Here, Theresa Kestly teaches therapists how to understand the neurobiology of play experiences so the undeniable benefits of play therapy can be exploited to their fullest. At last, clinical readers have a book that takes seriously the importance of play and brings a scientific eye to this most important aspect of life. Drawing on concepts of interpersonal neurobiology, the benefits of play interventions to achieve attunement, neural integration, healthy attachment, and the development of resilience and well-being become clear. The book is organized into three parts. The first part lays a conceptual foundation for considering play in relation to the neurobiology of the developing brain and mind. The next part explores specific topics about play including the therapeutic playroom, the collaborative relationship between therapist and clients, storytelling, and mindfulness. The last part of the book asks questions about the state of play in our families, clinics, and schools. How did we get to a place where play has been so devalued, and what can we do about it? Now that we know how important play is across the lifespan from a scientific standpoint, what can we do to fully integrate it into our lives? After reading this book, clinicians, teachers, and even parents will understand why play helps children (and adults) heal from painful experiences, while developing self-regulation and empathy. The clinical examples in the book show just how powerful the mind is in its natural push toward wholeness and integration.

Download or read book Society Organizations and the Brain building towards a unified cognitive neuroscience perspective written by Carl Senior and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book brings together scholars in both the neurosciences and organizational sciences who have adopted various approaches to study the cognitive mechanisms mediating the social behavior that we see within organizations. Such an approach has been termed by ourselves, and others, as ‘organisational cognitive neuroscience’. In recent years there has been a veritable increase in studies that have explored the cognitive mechanisms driving such behaviors, and much progress has been made in understanding the neural underpinnings of processes such as financial exchange, risk awareness and even leadership. However, while these studies are informative and add to our understanding of human cognition they fall short of providing evidence-based recommendations for practice. Specifically, we address the broader issue of how the neuroscientific study of such core social behaviors can be used to improve the very way that we work. To address these gaps in our understanding the chapters in this book serve as a platform that allows scholars in both the neurosciences and the organizational sciences to highlight the work that spans across these two fields. The consolidation of these two fields also serves to highlight the utility of a singular organizational cognitive neuroscience. This is a fundamentally important outcome of the book as the application of neuroscience to address economically relevant behaviors has seen a variety of fields evolve in their own right, such as neuromarketing, neuroeconomics and so forth. The use of neuro-scientific technologies,in particular fMRI, has indeed led to a bewildering (and somewhat suffocating) proliferation of new approaches, however, the speed of such developments demands that we must proceed carefully with such ventures or risk some fundamental mistakes. The book that you now hold will consolidates these new neuroscience based approaches and in doing so highlight the importance of this approach in helping us to understand human social behavior in general. Taken together the chapters provide a framework for scholars within the neurosciences who wish to explore the further the opportunities that the study of organisational behavior may provide.
