The Future of the Brain, The Brain of the Future
About
The wonderful thing about being a human being is that although we are born with a full complement of brain cells, it is the growth of connections between the cells that accounts for the growth of the brain after birth. These connections reflect the unique sequence, - a life-story, of individual experiences and interactions with the outside world: a phenomenon known as ‘plasticity’ that leads to the personalisation of the physical brain, amounting to a ‘mind’. Given the unprecedented challenges posed by the digital world to thinking, emotions and well-being, we need to devise the best ways for optimising fulfilment of each individual’s potential. The biggest shift in the 21st Century mind-set is towards one trapped as never before in the present, needing constant stimulation from the immediate, external world. This transformational change is already having deep implications in the workplace for interpersonal relations, notions of identity, and even the thought process itself.Location
