In this workshop neuroscientist, Dr. Gabija Toleikyte will explain what is needed for our brains to perform best and stop procrastinating.
Your brain is constantly changing. Did you have much better memory as a child? Were you able to concentrate on reading a book for a long period of time whereas now you can barely finish a full article on the Internet? Do you tend to procrastinate and feel unable to stop no matter how hard you try? Were you once a much more optimistic person, but now you struggle to feel happy about your life?
These are just a few examples of how your brain is constantly changing based on what your brain experiences most often (scientists call this “activity-dependent brain plasticity”). In this talk, neuroscientist Dr. Gabija Toleikyte will explain the mechanisms underlying high performance, memory formation, attention and productivity and second, to successfully train your brain to be better at the tasks once again.
