🐦 Exciting News! 🐦
New research from Durham University shows how both sighted and blind people can train their brains to echolocate using sound echoes, just like bats and dolphins! 🦇🐬
Over 10 weeks, 12 blind and 14 sighted participants learned echolocation through click-based training. The results? MRI scans revealed that their brains adapted in similar ways, reorganizing the primary visual cortex to process sound echoes! 🧠🔍
This groundbreaking study proves that our brains are incredibly adaptable, no matter our sensory abilities. 🌟 This offers new hope for those with progressive vision loss, demonstrating that with practice, we can develop new ways to navigate our surroundings. 🌍✨
Kudos to the amazing researchers, Dr. Lore Thaler and Dr. Liam Norman, for leading this innovative study. Your work is truly inspiring! 👏👏
Read more about this incredible study in the journal Cerebral Cortex. 📚

Norman Monath's "How to Play Popular Piano in 10 Easy Lessons: The Fastest, Easiest Way to Learn to Play from Sheet Music or by Ear"?

My father told me, for the piano capability I wanted (high-yield learning, low expectations beyond a wee sing song), learning to read a fake book would be the optimal path. He was right, and subsequently a few of my friends have learnt from the same book! There are usually some cheap copies on AbeBooks.com.

Exercise and the Brain: The Neuroscience of Fitness Explored

Regular exercise profoundly impacts our brain and nervous system.
Exercise stimulates neurogenesis – the creation of new neurons – primarily in the hippocampus, influencing memory and learning while increasing key mood-regulating neurotransmitters. It also enhances brain plasticity, essential for recovery from injury and aging, and improves cognitive functions such as attention and memory.

I wish I remembered my dreams. No, this isn’t a metaphor, though I wish it were! I miss my wild wacky weird dreams.

The dreams stopped a while after my two brain surgeries and four brain radiosurgeries. I survived an unsurvivable cancer — and yay, I’m alive! — but I lost some brain function. Like remembering my dreams. Or tasting chocolate.

Once in awhile I awaken holding a thread to a dream. This gives me hope. I fully believe I’ll get my dream recall back.
