Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT) - Mind fitness, neuroplasticity, and stress resilience

Just as physical fitness relies on repeated exercises to generate training-specific muscular and cardiovascular changes, mind fitness relies on attention exercises to improve cognitive functions and change brain structures. Just as the body is physically changed by exercise, areas of the brain may shrink or expand – become more or less functional – based on experience. This capacity is called neuroplasticity. For example, engaging in and repeating certain mental activities helps the brain become more efficient at those activities. Empathy Museum. Nonacademic Skills Are Key To Success.

In 1980 she began collaborating with him in teaching his Focusing workshops.[3] Using her capacity for linguistics, Cornell helped develop the concept of Focusing guiding, and in the early 1980s she offered the first seminars on Focusing guiding.[4] Her continuation of this process led to her development, with Barbara McGavin, of Inner Relationship Focusing.

Physiologists had proposed that some structure deep within the brain controlled mental wakefulness and alertness.[1] It had been thought that wakefulness depended only on the direct reception of afferent (sensory) stimuli at the cerebral cortex.

The direct electrical stimulation of the brain could simulate electrocortical relays. Sub threshold trauma.
