Brain Training Skills Development What is Brain Training ○ Brain training, also known as cognitive training, is a series of activities that are designed to improve or maintain one's cognitive abilities. The term "cognitive capability" refers to elements of fluid intelligence, such as executive function and working memory. Cognitive training is based on the idea that exercise can improve cognitive abilities, similar to how physical fitness can be improved by working out. ○ Learning Development Why is brain training important?

Brain training is the process that teaches the brain the appropriate brain patterns to help it function better. The computer rewards brains that produce good brainwaves with audio clues like dings and visual incentives, such as brightening the screen. These processes eventually become automatic and the brain is no longer monitored. Brain health is dependent on self-regulation. Brain training is about teaching the brain how to self-regulate. The brain receives the EEG feedback directly. Self-regulation training improves the functioning of the central nervous system by promoting positive frequencies and decreasing harmful ones.

Methods Cognitive training can be done in many ways, including online gaming or cardiovascular training, as well as engaging in new activities like dance, art and music. To keep yourself challenged, you should play a new set of games every day. You can keep track of your progress to help you maintain your brain training habits. These activities are designed to improve people's abilities in solving problems, reasoning, and learning. These brain training activities can help people focus better and remember more. These abilities are useful in everyday life. You may be able to focus on class lectures or complete tasks while paying attention. You might be able to recall more information and learn faster. These abilities have been linked to intelligence, school success, and overall success in all aspects of life, according to research. It is not surprising that researchers have been long interested in learning if these abilities can be modified, given their importance. NAME OR LOGO 8 Training and Development ○ If we could only take control of this process, imagine what it would look like. We could train our brains to do better with specific cognitive skills and processes if we could. ○ The brain can self-regulate, much like an automatic gearbox in a car that adjusts the engine's power depending on the situation. As our brain can regulate our state (behaviors, thoughts, emotions and body sensations), it works well when we're young. As we age, our brain's feedback mechanisms stop working and the brain becomes more difficult to regulate itself. ○ The brain's ability to self-regulate is affected. This can lead to brain waves that are out of tune from old age or trauma. The brain's inability to function properly can affect your ability to talk, balance, think clearly, focus, and pay attention. ○ Brain training is a way to regain control of your brain. Different parts of your brain work in harmony and sync together. ○ You can also design your own program. Choose exercises and workouts that suit your mood and your schedule. NAME OR LOGO 9
