Are you stuck with your old neural pathways? Yes and no. You can build new neural pathways with conscious effort, but it's harder than we expect. We tend to rely on old pathways even when they don't serve us because they're efficient. When you know this, it's easier to change

The timing of our brain waves shapes how we perceive our environment. We are more likely to perceive events when their timing coincides with the timing of relevant brain waves.

You should read Dr. Clark's "The Experience Machine" but if you don't have time to get through the book, this lecture is a great summary of the major themes in the book. This is definitely worth watching for the latest on how the brain learns (Hint: It's not what we've been taught about the brain). https://a.co/d/jdGMZzC

In this story, we learn that seeing is not believing, believing is seeing. We also look at a study on insights to illustrate how our thoughts physically rewire our brains to make it easier to think those same thoughts in the future.

#BeingHuman: Here, at fewer than #70daysuntil70, I'm contemplating what it is to be human. We think we're "all that" because we have bigger brains than those of most other species on the planet, but - do our brains really make us that smart? What does 'smart' really mean? How is it that other living creatures, some with only rudimentary nervous systems, manage to figure out how to persist, solve problems, and survive? That seems pretty smart, to me: it's a tough world, as we know. The article below caught my attention just now, and I found it a fascinating read. I love being challenged to consider what it means to be #alive, #intelligent, and just plain #human. It's part of what makes me appreciative of #agingwithvitality! What about you? Do you enjoy a good #intellectualchallenge? Please share a bit about something you've recently encountered that shook up a long-held belief and helped you learn something new! https://lnkd.in/gDwkQDz3

What if better behaviors required new neural circuits? When we create a new behavior that matches our upgraded identity, we are asking our brain's electrical signals to go down a path that has not been used before. That can create intense experiences that if framed positively can feel rewarding.
