1 Review, Practical Aspects, and Neuroplasticity Module 8

2 REVIEW: The Science of Senses Module 2

3 Where To Start? How we get information into our brains...whether we know it or not

4 2 Points Dynamic vs Fixed Conscious vs Unconscious

5 Information Unconscious mind à the key How does the information get in? à senses Does the source matter? à priority What do we DO about it? à practical Research points the way, Me-search provides answers What >> Why

6 5 Senses Form Maps Senses Unconscious 1) Sight (ophthalmoception) 2) Hearing (audioception) 3) Taste (gustaoception) 4) Smell (olfacoception) 5) Touch (tactioception)

7 5 More Senses 1) Temperature (thermoception) 2) Kinesthetic sense (proprioception) 3) Pain (nociception) 4) Balance (equilibrioception) 5) Internal stimuli a) Chemoreceptors - blood/tissue b) Detect salt, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc All form Maps / Operating System - OS

8 Senses Maps The map is not the territory (1) A) A map may have a structure similar or dissimilar to the structure of the territory... B) A map is not the territory à A way to understand 1) "A Non-Aristotelian System and its Necessity for Rigour in Mathematics and Physics", a paper presented before the American Mathematical Society at the New Orleans, Louisiana, meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, December 28, Reprinted in Science and Sanity, 1933, p

9 Rewire Your Maps Goggles that turned their world upside down Austrian researcher Ivo Kohler 50 years ago Their brain re-flipped the image With the glasses on Took the glasses off Image flipped again à Neuroplasticity DYNAMIC Peter Weibel Beyond Art: A Third Culture Springer Science & Business Media, May 17, Architecture pages

11 2 Points Dynamic vs Fixed Conscious vs Unconscious MINDSET PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE

12 Practical: Senses Movement quality à dynamic à proprioception Vision à dynamic à saccades / near far drill VARIETY = DYNAMIC Work to increase Expansion based model List 3 ways you can expand outward (nutrition, movement, mindset, routines, etc)

13 REVIEW: The Science of Choice Module 4

14 Research is to see what everyone else has seen, and think what no one else has thought -Albert Szent-Gyorgy, 1937 Nobel Laureate in Medicine

15 2 Points Choice à Dynamic Awareness à Information

16 Choice Instinct vs. choice Genetics à Fixed? No choice? = Fixed DNA vs. epigenetics Fixed vs. Dynamic What do you see? Potential (DNA) + Action (epigenetics)

17 Epigenetics Qihua Tan, Lene Christiansen,Mads Thomassen, Torben A. Kruse, and Kaare Christensen Twins for epigenetic studies of human aging and development Ageing Res Rev. Jan 2013; 12(1): Published online Jun 29, doi: /j.arr PMCID: PMC

18 Epigenetics

19 Awareness Sensory data à Brain (filter) à Store / Dump Nelson, MT Dramatic oversimplification of brain function Dr. Nelson s Big Book of Knowledge, weputoutbooks.com, 2015

20 Awareness Reticular Activating System Sensory input à filter Blue Jetta Importance What is important?

21 Awareness Reticular Activating System Importance Focus Deactivated by general anesthesia Many inputs (senses) Even during sleep (snoring, trains, etc)

22 2 Points Choice à Dynamic Awareness à Information

23 Practical: Choice and Awareness Practical Importance = increased RAS activity Focus on what is important Make it more important? Choice = options à dynamic What are all my options here? I decide to go to work (watch I must )

24 REVIEW:The 4 Stage Behavioral Model Module 6

25 4 Stage Model Four Stages for Learning Any New Skill Developed at the Gordon Training International Noel Burch in the 1970s Attributed to Abraham Maslow Not in any of his works though

26 4 Stage Model

27 Stage 4 - Unconscious competence 4 Stage Model - the skill becomes so practiced that it enters the unconscious parts of the brain - it becomes 'second nature' Automatically do better Fast and accurate Walking Driving

28 4 Stage Model

29 4 Stage Model Will Taylor Courtesy of Will Taylor, Chair, Department of Homeopathic Medicine, National College of Natural Medicine, Portland, Oregon, USA, March 2007.

30 4 Stage Model Oriental proverb He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool - shun him (Unconscious Incompetent) He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is ignorant - teach him (Conscious Incompetent) He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep - wake him (Unconscious Competent) But he who knows, and knows that he knows, is a wise man - follow him (Conscious Competent)

31 NEW: Neuroplasticity Module 8

32 Neuroplasticity The brain that changes itself Fixed vs. dynamic Used to believe it was fixed College buffalos.. changes in neural pathways and synapses due to changes in behavior, environment, neural processes, thinking, emotions, as well as changes resulting from bodily injury - Pascual-Leone et al Pascual-Leone, A., Freitas, C., Oberman, L., Horvath, J. C., Halko, M., Eldaief, M. et al. (2011). Characterizing brain cortical plasticity and network dynamics across the age-span in health and disease with TMS-EEG and TMS-fMRI. Brain Topography, 24,

33 Neuroplasticity

34 Neuroplasticity Neuroscientist Paul Bach-y-Rita hypothesized in the 1960s "we see with our brains not our eyes source

35 See with your tongue Neuroplasticity source:

36 Neuroplasticity Argus II Artificial eye source:

37 Neuroplasticity Hebbian Learning Donald Hebb The Organization of Behavior 1949 Father of neuropsychology and neural networks Neurons that fire together, wire together Perfect Practice

38 Neuroplasticity

39 Neuroplasticity

40 Neuroplasticity Interestingly, Buch et al. (2011) also tested whether the plasticity induced in the pathways depended on the cognitive state of the subject at the time of testing... The polarity of the induced plasticity indeed depended on the cognitive state of the subject: inhibitory effects were induced when subjects were at rest, whereas excitatory effects were induced when the subject was engaged in a visuomotor task

41 Neuroplasticity State matters à wired to everything Association State before skills Frankie Faires Conscious of state à awareness Dynamic mindset à alter your state State first!!

42 Neuroplasticity

43 Neuroplasticity Neuroplasticity is defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to extrinsic or intrinsic stimuli by a reorganization of its function, structure, or connections. It has a significant functional, but also a therapeutic role across brain diseases, as well as in health. It can be experience-driven, is time sensitive, and it is influenced by the environment and internal states, such as motivation and attention. Not all plasticity has a positive impact on clinical or behavioral status

44 Neuroplasticity Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CI)

46 Neuroplasticity

47 Neuroplasticity Affected by many factors diet, nutrition, drugs, play, exercise, and more.. à dynamic!
