Cognitive function declines as people age. But what if that weren't true? The latest research shows that there are ways to strengthen and retain mental acuity throughout your lifespan. Join host Peter Coyote and some of the top scientists, like Dr. Michael Merzenich, as they explain the revolution in neuroplasticity in The Brain Fitness Program.
Join host Peter Coyote as he examines the power of neuroplasticity, as it relates to the incredible parts of the brain that govern our senses. Visit a lab where sensory substitution devices are made, and discover why "useful field of view" is so important as we age.
Illustrates how ordinary people are using their brain plasticity to create lasting and astonishing changes.
Dr. Michael Merzenich, PhD demonstrates how experts in various fields improve their neurological abilities through sustained, continuous, intense practice of their respective skill set and how such consequential neurological findings in experts compare to the average individual.
