or watch a speech on googletalks on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK1nMQq67VI Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know--such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget--and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In Brain Rules, molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule--what scientists know for sure about how our brains work--and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. For more information go to http://www.brainrules.net/. Dr. Medina spoke at Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters as part of the Authors@Google program. This talk took place on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. ~~~~~~~~ Brain Rules by -Dr. Medina - The 12 RulesRead the chapter, then use these tutorials to reinforce the concepts: Explore each rule through illustrations, charts and video.
