for these tests think of the brain as having this Orchestra that is playing in
having this Orchestra that is playing in
having this Orchestra that is playing in different regions so my question when I
different regions so my question when I
different regions so my question when I went to Harvard that I really wanted to
went to Harvard that I really wanted to
went to Harvard that I really wanted to know the Institute was whether it is
know the Institute was whether it is
know the Institute was whether it is that memory box okay like where is it

which you know we get into all right
which you know we get into all right memory is actually distributed
memory is actually distributed
memory is actually distributed throughout the brain so you have

billions and billions right notes after shunga right now if you’re kind of
shunga right now if you’re kind of
shunga right now if you’re kind of curious on 86 billion if you’re an adult
curious on 86 billion if you’re an adult
curious on 86 billion if you’re an adult and you’ve got all those brain cells in

and you’ve got all those brain cells in there in those brain cells fire and
there in those brain cells fire and
there in those brain cells fire and network together and so when a certain
network together and so when a certain
network together and so when a certain group of this brain cells fire together
group of this brain cells fire together
group of this brain cells fire together when you’re learning something like
when you’re learning something like
when you’re learning something like adding fractions
adding fractions
adding fractions they are very fragile you’ve created a
they are very fragile you’ve created a
they are very fragile you’ve created a brand-new network for how to add
brand-new network for how to add
brand-new network for how to add fractions I you think you get it you
fractions I you think you get it you
fractions I you think you get it you understand

you get home you try to do your homework
you get home you try to do your homework and add fractions and guess what you
and add fractions and guess what you
and add fractions and guess what you forgot how to do it
forgot how to do it
forgot how to do it all right and that’s because the network
all right and that’s because the network
all right and that’s because the network is really really fragile the brain is
is really really fragile the brain is
is really really fragile the brain is designed in such a way that all of these
designed in such a way that all of these
designed in such a way that all of these brain cells and we’re talking billions
brain cells and we’re talking billions
brain cells and we’re talking billions of them the way in which they
of them the way in which they
of them the way in which they communicate is that one cell gets

how these Souls have networked together
how these Souls have networked together is that you have to require these cells

before you go to sleep at night is going
before you go to sleep at night is going to get priority and being stored in them
to get priority and being stored in them
to get priority and being stored in them right so you’re studying for your test
right so you’re studying for your test
right so you’re studying for your test what I want you to do is study earlier
what I want you to do is study earlier
what I want you to do is study earlier in the day pull out your notes review it
in the day pull out your notes review it
in the day pull out your notes review it for 5 or 10 minutes before you go to bed
for 5 or 10 minutes before you go to bed
for 5 or 10 minutes before you go to bed it will actually help store that
it will actually help store that
it will actually help store that long-term right center figure would you
long-term right center figure would you
long-term right center figure would you remember is that memory is distributed
remember is that memory is distributed
remember is that memory is distributed all throughout the brain so students who
all throughout the brain so students who
all throughout the brain so students who income what they’re learning physically
income what they’re learning physically
income what they’re learning physically in the back because they have visual
in the back because they have visual
in the back because they have visual imagery on the side because they talked
imagery on the side because they talked
imagery on the side because they talked out loud while they were studying on the
out loud while they were studying on the
out loud while they were studying on the top or motor movement is because they we
top or motor movement is because they we
top or motor movement is because they we copied their meds they physically have
copied their meds they physically have
copied their meds they physically have more places in the brain that represent
more places in the brain that represent
more places in the brain that represent that
that
that and they have more ability to recall it
and they have more ability to recall it
and they have more ability to recall it later
later
later and the third takeaway too is the way
and the third takeaway too is the way
and the third takeaway too is the way something stays active and long-term
something stays active and long-term
something stays active and long-term memory is you have to review it over and
memory is you have to review it over and
memory is you have to review it over and over and over again it doesn’t have to
over and over again it doesn’t have to
over and over again it doesn’t have to be direct repetition but you have to
be direct repetition but you have to
be direct repetition but you have to refire that network so when teachers
refire that network so when teachers
refire that network so when teachers tell you study a little bit each night
tell you study a little bit each night
tell you study a little bit each night and then like number your does it right
and then like number your does it right
and then like number your does it right reason and I don’t even know that they
reason and I don’t even know that they
reason and I don’t even know that they know why I told you to do that but the
know why I told you to do that but the
know why I told you to do that but the some tiffin reason is literally five
some tiffin reason is literally five
some tiffin reason is literally five minutes of review one day not like 45
minutes of review one day not like 45
minutes of review one day not like 45 minutes which is five minutes it’s going
minutes which is five minutes it’s going
minutes which is five minutes it’s going to refine those networks and while you
to refine those networks and while you
to refine those networks and while you sleep it’s a coded into memory and then
sleep it’s a coded into memory and then
sleep it’s a coded into memory and then when it comes down to setting and are
when it comes down to setting and are
when it comes down to setting and are going to have to study as much at the
going to have to study as much at the
going to have to study as much at the end so I encourage you to dive into this
end so I encourage you to dive into this
end so I encourage you to dive into this field of neuro education if you are
field of neuro education if you are
field of neuro education if you are interested start learning about how you
interested start learning about how you
interested start learning about how you learn and how this can impact what you
learn and how this can impact what you
learn and how this can impact what you do as a student and I want to encourage
do as a student and I want to encourage
do as a student and I want to encourage you that intelligence changes and brain
you that intelligence changes and brain
you that intelligence changes and brain changes as a result of experience so
changes as a result of experience so
changes as a result of experience so there’s something that you’re not great
there’s something that you’re not great
there’s something that you’re not great at doing and you really want to become
at doing and you really want to become
at doing and you really want to become better at doing that you can’t and if
better at doing that you can’t and if
better at doing that you can’t and if you take the different experiences that
you take the different experiences that
you take the different experiences that are going to improve theirs every senior
are going to improve theirs every senior
are going to improve theirs every senior brain literally next year at this time
brain literally next year at this time
brain literally next year at this time you can have a marriage of a brain you
you can have a marriage of a brain you
you can have a marriage of a brain you have today so thank you very much
