Unlocking the mysteries of our brain | David Eagleman
The way that our brain perceives the world is profoundly informed by our senses-so what would happen if we could heighten them-or even create a whole NEW sense? In one of his last episodes as host of the show, Chris Anderson kicks off our series on the future of intelligence by interviewing neuroscientist and author David Eagleman. They’ll decode the mysteries of the brain, consider consciousness and what it means to be human, and dig deep into David’s ground-breaking research on how wearable technology can bypass sensory impairment, translating sound into patterns of vibration for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Key takeaways: 1. Seek novelty and challenge. Don't let your life shrink as you get older. Keep your mind active by doing things that are challenging and require you to learn new things. 2. Mix things up. Don't do the same challenging activities over and over again. Keep your brain engaged by trying new things. 3. Stay in the "frustrating but achievable" zone. This is the sweet spot where you're constantly learning and growing, but you're not so frustrated that you give up. Actionable items: 1. Take up a new hobby or skill. This could be anything from learning a new language to playing a musical instrument. 2. Travel to new places. This is a great way to experience new cultures and challenge your brain to learn about different ways of life. 3. Volunteer your time. This is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and make a difference in the world. 4. Stay active both physically and mentally. Exercise is good for your brain as well as your body. Eat a healthy diet. What you eat has a big impact on your brain health. 5. Get enough sleep. Sleep is essential for brain function. Bonus: Laughter is good for your brain. So go ahead and have a good laugh!

I've been an illustrator for as long as I can remember (first art show of watercolors at age 10)... I've played guitar since age 16... have taught myself to juggle and do photography... have taken improv classes, singing classes, and life-drawing classes... got a master's in philosophy for no other reason than to think about big ideas... and started learning to speak French in earnest in my late '30s... have worked my whole career as a writer, deeply researching new topics every four to six weeks... and now in my 50s, have taken yet more guitar lessons and started learning to play the piano (which I've been doing now for three years). I'm also studying Spanish. I say all this because, well... for one, I guess I'm bragging a bit... but more because I can't imagine a better way to live. My idea of heaven is an endless opportunity to learn something new. If I were making the same recommendation to anybody else, I'd first recommend picking up an instrument... any instrument... and teaching yourself a few songs. To me, that's the key to a happier life. If not that, languages. Or writing in a journal regularly.

I am 60. At 53 I started ice skating and playing ice hockey. I can now do crossovers, crossrolls and powerpulls, forwards and backwards, and 3 turns forwards. At 58 I started learning French again after a 30 year gap. I can now understand videos and podcasts in French. At 59 I started learning German, it’s very hard. In my opinion learning something totally new expands the mind. It can be hard and frustrating, and when you improve you learn something about yourself and the way you view life. Looking back I wish I had done this 40 years ago. Then again, I came from a modest background, with narrow ambitions and expectations. And no internet. Today we have the internet, which makes learning so much easier.

Just a little at a time to the point that you feel you are learning but not causing the stress response (2) Playing Card Games, Crossword puzzles, completing actual Puzzles, Trivia Games (3) Meditation (4) Exercise (5) Plenty of Solid Sleep (6) Reading (7) Drinking Green Tea (8) Omega-3 Fish Oils (9)Green Leafy Vegetables(Spinach).

I saw the exact opposite happen to my Grandmother. She was diagnosed with Dementia, it rapidly developed over the course of a year and then she passed with the basic mentality of a 2 year old. She didn't remember anyone or really anything. 5 years or so prior to that, she basically stopped doing any and everything. My great Grandfather on the opposite lived to 104 years old, kept active and going until pretty much his last year, and from all I could tell was just as sharp mentally as he was the past 20 or 30 years. For most people, the mind starts to shut the systems down once it recognizes YOU have decided your done.

@gauriguruprasad7559 11 месяцев назад

For my grandmother, she was diagnosed recently (2 years ago) with dementia, and much of the destruction occurred during quarantine where she was getting zero social interaction. She lived alone in a different country and I think it was still an inevitability because she never challenged herself - her routine was built upon praying often, watching television, and reading the same books she has always read. It is great to hear about your great-grandfather, though. It really shows how staying active, cognitively and physically, can be so helpful until the ripe age of 104! Thank you for sharing.

It is called active memtal engagement..... Not to allow the mind just to float allong without aim and wihout purpose, on trivial matters that do not require mental depth, but have the mind engaged with issues, any issues: social, scientific, philosophical, where the mind is questioning, observing, challenging, in order to come to the truth, and even when the mind thinks that has come to the truth, still to question, and still to challenge.... That kind of mind never gets rusty..... And by the way, people with those sorts of minds never get borred....

@susandrydenhenderson6234 7 месяцев назад

Surely the situation of the nuns in the convent illustrates the opposite of the conclusion the interviewee claims. The Alzheimer’s sufferers were able to carry on as normal because of the unchanging stability of their surroundings and relationships. If they’d been thrown into New York City or London and everything was new they’d never have been able to learn or adapt to any of it and would have immediately presented as not coping, confused, lost. I cared for my mother with dementia and deliberately got her home help then later moved into her home rather than any other arrangement to help her cope for as long as possible. This worked well.

@returnoftheredeye Год назад

Fascinating clip. Reminds me of something I once read about the neuro-preservative benefits of reading media sources that contradict our own beliefs. Sadly, most of us including myself, rarely do that. I'm surprised about the convent though. I would imagine that lifestyle to be more closed off from the outside world than most. Consequently, it would be quite familiar, constant, and predictable. All things that would seem to be the opposite of what he's describing.

@patricksquinlan1 11 месяцев назад

When I was a young man, I was one of a few outsiders who was regularly allowed inside a convent of cloistered Franciscan nuns. I used to deliver supplies there, and occasionally do small handyman-type tasks. It was within a walled compound, with a gate and a narrow tunnel you would drive through. The outer walls and the house itself were Medieval looking, though the living area inside was relatively modern. Only one woman was empowered to talk to me - others might smile and nod to me, but most just ignored me. The women were engaged full-time in praying for the fate of the world. They also had a side hustle making the distinctive dark brown robes the Franciscan brothers wear. I read years later that cloistered nuns are among the longest-living people on Earth. My feeling about it at the time was that they are removed from the normal stressors that regular people face every day - money, traffic, work issues, sexual relationship issues, domestic squabbles, morons everywhere, dangers of various kinds, the news, etc. I figured that's where their good health came from. There seems to be very little novelty inside a convent.

Yeap, I'm slowly starting the "older" part of life and *not* noticing all those issues that people keep talking about and I was terrified of. The "trick" I guess is mostly what's talked about here. I mean it's just common sense, if you let yourself go consistently over many years, your brain just follows suit. Just as the brain is plastic "upwards", it should be downwards too. I have noticed some body issues though, but those most likely stem from accumulated effect of bad habits (e.g. chronically sedentary lifestyle), so same thing.

- Seek novelty and challenge as you age to maintain brain health. - The Religious Orders Study involving nuns showed that engaging in various activities, social interactions, and cognitive challenges can help combat brain degeneration, even in the presence of diseases like Alzheimer's. - It's important to vary the challenges you engage in rather than sticking to one activity, as your brain benefits from adapting to new experiences. - The ideal challenge level is between frustrating and achievable, where you are continuously pushing your cognitive limits without feeling overwhelmed. - Maintaining a balance between frustration and achievement is crucial for delaying cognitive decline and dementia.
