Learn the Parts of the Brain
If you are interested in an easy way to learn the parts of the brain… This is a pretty painless method.
People often say that the brain is the most complex system in the Universe. It’s certainly the most complex on Earth, but I’m not sure how anyone knows about the rest of the Universe. Nevertheless, it is an incredible organ. It uses about 30% of the calories you take in every day. (If you want to know more about how to feed it well, read Six Foods your Brain will Thank you for.)
We know a lot more now about how the brain functions than we did 100 years ago, but we’re still just beginning to understand it. And it’s a built-in problem that we are studying this complex system with the very same complex system, our own brains.
That it’s amazing is not in doubt. It also has an immense capacity to regulate and change itself. I see that all the time in my work with NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback®. I’ve always been interested in the brain, but that really amped up when I became a trainer 11 years ago, which is how I found the animation.
NeurOptimal® holds a mirror up to that very same amazing brain and lets it see what it’s doing. Your brain is masterful at taking in information and using it to optimize itself. It’s doing this all the time, right now, without your conscious participation. NeurOptimal® gives it information it doesn’t get anywhere else about what it has just done. Your brain learns from that and uses the information well.
