Fri, 16 May 2008 In Episode 37 of the Brain Science Podcast Dr.
Ginger Campbell interviews Dr. John Medina, author of Brain
Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home,
and School. We talk about how exercise, sleep, and stress effect
our brains with an emphasis on practical advice for healthier
brain function. We also look at how research on memory, vision
and the brain's attention system suggests how we can improve our
ability to learn and our ability to share ideas with others. Dr.
Medina's focus is on considering real world examples of how our
schools and work environments could be reformed to utilize the
growing knowledge of neuroscience. But he also stresses the
importance of compiling sufficient experimental data before
embarking on new programs. For show notes and links go to
