How To Use Your Mind

How To Use Your Mind
Harry D. Kitson

A Psychology of Study:Being a Manual for the Use of Students and Teachers in the Administration of Supervised Study

About The Book
Educational leaders are seeing with increasing clearness the necessity of teaching students not only the subject-matter of study but also methods of study. The recognition of this condition is taking the form of the movement toward ''supervised study,'' which attempts to acquaint the student with principles of economy and directness in using his mind. It is generally agreed that there are certain ''tricks'' which make for mental efficiency, consisting of methods of apperceiving facts, methods of review, devices for arranging work. Some are the fruits of psychological experimentation; others are derived from experience. Many of them can be imparted by instruction, and it is for the purpose of systematizing these and making them available for students that this book is prepared.

Mind Hacks: Tips and Tricks for Using Your Brain

Mind Hacks: Tips and Tricks for Using Your Brain
By Tom Stafford & Matt Webb

Media Reviews:

"Mind Hacks is far from being a book filled with medical mumbo-jumbo and technical wizardry. Instead, Mind Hacks takes the time to explain to the reader just how the mind perceives certain tricks to be reality, and why the mind does so. Each hack in the book is actually some sort of a trick or illusion that the reader can perform to better understand how the brain works. At the end of each hack is a section highlighting how the illusion works and why... Mind Hacks is an interesting book to have for those who are interested in how the brain perceives everything around us...a great book for a novice to explore the world of cognitive neuroscience."
-----Brian Boudreau, MELUG-Central (MainE Linux Users Group), July 2005

"In the foreword, neuroscientist Steven Johnson notes that computer folks use the work 'hack' to mean 'something we do to an existing tool that gives it some new aptitude that was not part of its original feature set.' He goes on to say that that sense of the word is not useful here. Rather, what we have here is a collection of tricks of the mind... There are 100 hacks in all in the book. That’s 25 cents a hack. So, hack away and learn something about the human CPU (not an apt metaphor, we are told, for the human mind). Read more to find out why."
-----Rick Fischer, The Bridge, Memphis PC User Group, May 2005

"[Mind Hacks] makes a wonderful annotated bibliography, with a light touch of hackish humour that inspires further reading."
-----Mike Holderness, New Scientist, February 2005

"Welcome to a book that deals with both the conscious, the unconscious, and a twenty-first-century look at cognitive neuroscience and hidden logic of the human mind."
-----Robert Pritchett, Mac Companion, February 2005

"You may never have a better chance to learn about how your brain works...Mind Hacks is one book that will make learning about your brain entertaining and fascinating. Try it; I think you'll like it. Recommended"
-----Epinions.com, February 2005

"Mind Hacks is a rewarding mind trip, one that stretches the boundaries of what we know about how the brain works and playfully presents that information in an engaging, thought-provoking way."
-----Bill Wallo, Blogcritics.org, January 2005

"If you've always wanted to get closer to your cerebellum but never plucked up the courage to take that DIY neurosurgery course, this is the book for you."
-----The Guardian, January 2005

"Mind Hacks is a great read - I spent a whole afternoon looking through at the various hacks and realizing things I have never before thought of. The best part is that you aren't stuck reading in order - you can skip around and find the hacks that most interest you. And, references to other hacks (Printed Hyperlinks?) are abundant. So, if you're interested in learning a bit more about how our brains work, this book is highly recommended."
-----SiteCritique.net, January 2005

"Mucking about in the wetware is a great way to spend those long gray winter months...[W]ith the authors' collection of tricks and tips for defragging, rebooting and fine-tuning your mind, and you'll be in fine shape come summertime. You may still look like crap in a bathing suit, but you'll be smarter than ever and fully in control of your own user interface."

Deep Learning: Enhance Memory & Concentration [Audio Book]

Deep Learning: Enhance Memory & Concentration [Audio Book]
by Kelly Howell
Publisher: Brain Sync - ISBN: 1881451925 - MP3 AudioBook - 81 MB

Improve memory & concentration Absorb, retain, and recall information Expand awareness and increase creativity Do you ever wonder why as children we learn more in our first few years of life? The answer lies in the mysterious and elusive Theta brain wave state. Up until the age of six, children are predominantly in Theta.

This frequency allows the brain to absorb and retain massive amounts of information that gets stored in long-term memory. You can restore this magical ability through daily Theta brain wave training. When you need to study and assimilate new information, slip on your headphones, relax and listen to Deep Learning. Within minutes, memory receptors are gently stimulated as precision-engineered frequencies shift your brain into perfect balance. In this state of heightened receptivity, the clarity and speed with which you can concentrate, study, and integrate and store information is profoundly improved. Theta brain waves are associated with long-term-potentiation. Use Deep Learning For: Super learning Receiving inner direction and insights Self-hypnosis Behavior modification Improving Memory Instructions for listening: Listen to this program daily for either thirty or sixty minutes a day to train your brain to develop more Theta activity. Regular use will enhance overall mental performance. Here are three ways to use Deep Learning. Experiment to explore which way works best for you and your needs. 1. Thirty minutes before studying, lie down, close your eyes and listen to Deep Learning. This will prepare your brain for absorbing new information. 2. Or, listen to Deep Learning while you study. 3. Listen to Deep Learning to relax, unwind or meditate. After regular use you ll notice a dramatic increase in your ability to retain and retrieve information. What You Can Expect: Increased creativity Improved memory Enhanced ability to focus and concentrate Greater clarity of thought Expanded awareness

Creativity and the Brain

Kenneth M. Heilman, "Creativity and the Brain"
Psychology Press; 1 edition (April 26, 2005) - ISBN:1841694258 - 224 pages - PDF - 3,3 Mb

Review
Recommended to all college-level libraries for its long-term reference value in multiple disciplines -- including Psychology and Neurology. Further recommended to Psychology instructors as a primary text for all courses that examine how the mind develops the individual..
–John Aiello, The Electric Review

Book Description
Creativity is one of the most important of human attributes. We use creativity to provide for our biological needs, prolong our life and the lives of people for whom we care, reduce pain and suffering, and bring beauty, meaning and joy to our lives.
Although many scholars have investigated ideas and observations about the brain mechanisms that might be important for creativity, the neurobiological basis of creativity still remains a riddle.
In Creativity and the Brain, Kenneth Heilman explores the possible brain mechanisms which underlie creativity, by reviewing the existing evidence and putting forward new ideas. On the way, he discusses the relationships between creativity and intelligence, brain anatomy, neuropharmacology, addiction, handedness, sex differences, and mood states such as depression. He also addresses the effects of neurological disorders and aging, as well as the influence of environmental factors such as tolerance and nurturing.
The book will be of interest to neuroscientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists and educators The engaging and succinct style of this book also make it appealing to students, and researchers from a variety of disciplines who have an interest in understanding the brain mechanisms underlying creativity.
