The Six Stages of Mental Strength. Many people think that mentally strong people are simply born that way.
That from the moment their feet hit the ground, they are simply endowed with some almost supernatural skill that allows them to face challenges bravely. Others think that mental strength is like a light bulb – it is either turned on or turned off. And if yours happens to be off, you are out of luck. What most people don’t know is that mental strength it is neither a genetic gift, nor a character trait. It is a skill that is perfected through the constant interface with adversity. Here are the six stages of mental strength: Disruption. Uncertainty. Reconsideration. Search for Meaning. Recrafting the Narrative. Building Agency. Becoming mentally strong isn’t about having all the answers, never feeling weak, or never admitting defeat.

This Nifty Infographic is a Great Introduction to Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Therapy. It's startling to think about how we've got a spaceship billions of miles away rendezvousing with Pluto, yet here on Earth there are major aspects of our own anatomy that we're almost completely ignorant about.
We've climbed Everest, sent men to the moon, and invented the Internet — but we still don't know how our brains work. The positive outlook is that many health, science, and research specialists believe we're on the precipice of some major neuroscientific breakthroughs. One example of a recent discovery with major implications is our further understanding of neuroplasticity.
Simply put, we used to think our brain was what it was — unchangeable, unalterable. Neuroscience and the effectiveness of energy psychology (Part 1 of 3) 120 Ways to Boost Your Brain Power.

The 9 Types of Intelligence By Howard Gardner... 6 Real People With Mind-Blowing Mutant Superpowers. Buzzword: Micro-learning. I was introduced recently to a new buzz word making its way across the learning & development industry: Micro-learning.
If you’re like me, you’re probably starting to get a bit tired of people adding their particular spin to learning – all in search of the holy grail that is the “right way” to make learning happen. It doesn’t exist. But having got that out of the way, it is worth looking at these ideas to see if there’s anything we, as learning professionals, can learn from them. As a term, “micro-learning” has been around since about 2004, when it was put forward in a PhD thesis by Gerhard Gassler. 10 Sci-Fi Technologies That Already Exist. In between two worlds.

Berkeley Researchers Create Robo-Muscles 1,000 Times Stronger Than Ours. The First Person To Ever Receive Two Mind-Controlled Prosthetic Arms. Anti-diabetic drug slows aging and lengthens lifespan, animal study suggests. A study by Belgian doctoral researcher Wouter De Haes (KU Leuven) and colleagues provides new evidence that metformin, the world's most widely used anti-diabetic drug, slows aging and increases lifespan.
In experiments reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers tease out the mechanism behind metformin's age-slowing effects: the drug causes an increase in the number of toxic oxygen molecules released in the cell and this, surprisingly, increases cell robustness and longevity in the long term. Mitochondria -- the energy factories in cells -- generate tiny electric currents to provide the body's cells with energy. Highly reactive oxygen molecules are produced as a by-product of this process. It was long thought that harmful reactive oxygen molecules were the very cause of aging. Other studies in humans have shown that metformin suppresses some cancers and heart disease. Soldiers could have their bones copied and 3D printed in case of injury.
Soldiers could be scanned before they enter the battlefield and a virtual 'twin' kept online so that new bones could be 3D printed when they get injured, scientists have suggested.
Experts at the University of Nevada are in discussion with the US military to create records of ‘virtual’ soldiers which could be referred to by army surgeons. The team already uses virtual operating tables to practice dissection and help medical students learn the anatomy of the human body. How "SuperAger" Brains Are Different Than Everyone Else's. Researchers working with SuperAgers—people aged 80 and up with impeccable memory—reveal how their brains look decades younger.
And compared to others their age, SuperAgers have nearly 90 percent fewer brain “tangles” linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The findings were published in the Journal of Neuroscience last week. Direct Brain-To-Brain Communication Used in Humans. Tapping directly into someone’s brain in order to share thoughts isn’t just for Spock anymore.
An international team of researchers were able to replicate the Vulcan Mind Meld by creating a device that allows two people to share information through thought. The researchers tested the technology by separating the users over 8,000 km (5,000 mi) apart—with one user in France and the other in India. The paper has been published in PLOS ONE. "We wanted to find out if one could communicate directly between two people by reading out the brain activity from one person and injecting brain activity into the second person, and do so across great physical distances by leveraging existing communication pathways," co-author Alvaro Pascual-Leone said in a press release. 7 Morning Rituals to Empower your day & Change your Life.

It is shaped by your expectations, beliefs and thoughts you have formed about it. Brain Pathway Rediscovered After 100 Years. Modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are giving scientists unprecedented insight into the inner workings of the human brain.
When neuroscientist Jason Yeatman of the University of Washington noticed a large fiber bundle that was unfamiliar to him and did not exist in modern scientific literature, he couldn’t believe he was actually the first person to discover the structure. It turns out that he was right; the structure had been described before. However, the book that contained the last known mention of the fiber bundle had not been read in over 100 years. Yeatman and Kevin Wiener of Stanford University are co-authors of the paper, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The structure is now officially named the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF).
