Do we really understand the nature of our own intelligence, or what it is our brains truly excel at? Or have we been looking in the wrong places?  To subscribe to The Brainjo Connection, a free, twice-monthly newsletter about the latest science of how to keep the brain fit and healthy, along with our recommended products, books, tools, and other resources for doing so, go to: brainjo.academy/connection To learn more about how you can boost brain fitness with neuroscience-based musical instruction, head to brainjo.academy.   

Think some people are born with good memories? Think exponential gains in memory capacity, if even possible at all, would take years to develop?  Perhaps no domain better illustrates the latent potential inside each brain, or challenges conventional ideas about innate intelligence, better than that of the world of competitive memory.  In this episode, we explore this topic with 4 time US Memory Champion Nelson Dellis.  To subscribe to The Brainjo Connection, a free, twice-monthly newsletter about the latest science of how to keep the brain fit and healthy, along with our recommended products, books, tools, and other resources for doing so, go to: brainjo.academy/connection To learn more about how you can boost brain fitness with neuroscience-based musical instruction, head to brainjo.academy.

How could an injury to the brain result in the gain of new abilities?  The explanation directly challenges the conventional view of human intelligence and innate ability, with broad reaching implications for how to best support and nurture cognitive development.

We don't like feeling terrible at something, and so most of us avoid doing things that make us feel that way. Yet, if we're looking to optimize the health and function of the brain, that's precisely the kinds of feeling we should be seeking out.  KEY POINTS and SHOW NOTES available at: elitecognition.com/inept Learn more about the Brainjo Collective, a community of curious minds, at elitecognition.com/collective.

In this episode, I talk with mathematician and author Ben Orlin. Ben is the creator of the "Math With Bad Drawings" blog and similarly titled book, which I can't recommend highly enough.  In this episode, we talk about the book, misconceptions about mathematical aptitude, the importance of allowing yourself to be stuck with a problem, and more.  Learn more about the Brainjo Collective, a community of curious minds, at elitecognition.com/collective.
