IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll learn how much control you can actually have over your brain. There’s a new way of accessing your meat operating system that adds an important element that’s been missing from the brain training conversation. Moha Bensofia joins the show to explain a new piece of neurotech called Mendi. He shares the benefits of getting more blood to the front of your brain. Mendi uses neurofeedback to provide visual feedback based on your brain activity.

A headset measures the activity while you play a fun brain-training mobile game. The system uses fNIRS technology to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. The brain training game requires focus and calmness, which increases activity and control of your brain’s pathways. By using Mendi, you can learn to control your brain activity and reach greater heights as an entrepreneur, athlete, and professional in any field. Mendi was developed initially for victims of war and trauma, as well as people struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. 

The key idea of the video is that understanding and accepting one's neurodivergent nature can lead to personal growth and protection against exploitation, while institutions and bullying can create biases and challenges that can be overcome with a growth mindset.   Emotional Well-being and Self-Expression 📚 Understanding that people are primarily emotional beings is crucial for effective engagement and marketing strategies. 💪 Invisible disabilities in the neurospicy community can contribute to internalized ableism and the adoption of unrealistic standards and behaviors like perfectionism and workaholism. 💔 Recognizing and breaking the cycle of marginalized self-hatred is crucial for healing and fostering...

There is almost nothing more important to understand about people than intelligence. It can be measured more accurately than anything else in the social sciences. It differs tremendously and importantly between individuals. It is the single most important determinant of life success. It's very existence, however, remains subject to substantive debate, most of it highly politicized. Dr. Richard Haier has recently written a major book on the topic, The Neuroscience of Intelligence (http://amzn.to/2em55A9), summarized in the following manner:"This book introduces new and provocative neuroscience research that advances our understanding of intelligence and the brain. Compelling evidence shows that genetics plays...
