This week I was privileged to be among remarkable leaders who are working in concert to double brain health and performance over the next decade. I am speaking of the October 21 preview event for The BrainHealth Project, conceptualized and led by Dr. Sandi Chapman, Director of the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas.
It was humbling to be in a room filled with giants in the field of neuroscience, whose painstaking scientific inquiry decades ago challenged then prevailing understanding of the brain. Walking along the Embarcadero overlooking San Francisco Bay post event, my mind wandered to medieval scholars of millennia past, who proved beyond doubt that the world was indeed not flat. I thought about the turning point marked by the day’s event, and how these tangible results of neuroplasticity science will yield equally profound change for us all.
The BrainHealth Project unites an unparalleled, international group of neuroscience leaders to advance the common good. This large scale, ten year research project will afford hundreds of thousands of individuals the opportunity to take control of their own brain health to enhance their decision-making, productivity, problem-solving, creativity, achievement and more. Participants will also likely misplace their keys less often.
This is the first science-backed brain health protocol to define, measure and improve the four essential domains of the brain’s health and performance: cognition, well-being, social connection and real-life function.
Here’s how the program works:
