Fantastic

I have not yet finished this book, but already about half way through it is a winner to this special education teacher with a real interest in the brain.

Train Your Brain

This book was extremely informative. My own interest in the book was sparked by the stroke my father suffered in August of 2005 and his subsequent and amazing recovery. TRAIN YOUR MIND, CHANGE YOUR BRAIN explains the processes in the brain that effect changes such as those my father's brain had to undergo to relearn even the simplest tasks. The first day he had to relearn to swallow, in order to even drink water safely. This was done by repeatedly speaking certain vowels. The scientific studies Begley writes about describe similar, seemingly unrelated exercises that increase ability or circumvent damage in the brain. She also writes in detail about the convocations between the science community and Buddhist community in this area. Buddhist monks were studied in order to ascertain the changes in the brain brought about by intense meditation. These studies seem to prove that we have the power to "think" changes in our own brains. From watching my father, I would have to agree that patterning hard wires changes, but thinking about the ability to perform certain tasks also helps increase the ability to do so. I recommend the book to anyone interested in the brain for whatever reasons.

No instructions on How

I was disappointed as it doesn't tell one how to do it although meditation is highly recommended. Lots of details about research on monkeys which is a bit upsetting for animal lovers.
