Neuroplasticity: The adaptability of the brain

The discovery of neuroplasticity in the 1950s revolutionized the notion that the brain is unchangeable after a certain phase. Our brain is adaptable and can reshape thought patterns, habits, and behaviors – it is our most flexible "muscle." Unlike computers, which are designed for specific tasks, the brain independently conducts software and hardware updates.

The term "neuroplasticity" was coined by Jerzy Konorski in 1948 and gained significance in the 1960s through studies on brain injuries that showed neurons can reorganize themselves after traumatic experiences.

Growth Mindset: The Power of Development

Stanford professor Carol Dweck established the foundation for the modern understanding of the growth mindset in 2006 with her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. She distinguishes between a fixed mindset that believes in innate talents and a growth-oriented mindset that is convinced that skills can be acquired through targeted training.

Dweck emphasizes that every person possesses different fundamental abilities, but through a growth-oriented mindset, neural connections can be restructured to learn new skills and shed habits. As Henry Ford aptly said, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are right." For more information on neurofeedback and its possibilities, please feel free to contact us for a personal conversation.

What We Know About Growth Mindset from Scientific Research

(What scientific research can tell us about the development-open mindset) by Carissa Romero

This PDF was published by the Mindset Scholars Network at Stanford University. It explains Carol Dweck's “Growth Mindset” principle and summarizes the underlying scientific research findings.

"How Experience Changes Brain Plasticity”

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt due to experience. It is an umbrella term referring to the brain's ability to change, reorganize, or grow neural networks. This can involve functional changes due to brain damage or structural changes due to learning.

“How the Brain Focuses While Ignoring Distractions”

(How the brain can focus and simultaneously ignore distractions) from NeuroscienceNews

A study with mice was able to identify the area of the brain responsible for blocking distractions so that we can concentrate and direct our attention to one thing. The article summarizes the findings of the study and also addresses the implications for the treatment of attention deficit disorders.

Neuroplasticity and Holistic Mindset: Courage to Change

Eveline Goodman, renowned neuroscientist, demonstrates how a holistic mindset tackles intellectual challenges. She uses psychology and neuroscience to solve problems and address conflicts constructively by equally training both hemispheres of the brain (IQ/EQ). With her "Neuro-Integrated Upskilling" concept, she disproves the notion that old thought patterns are unchangeable and showcases the potential of a growth-oriented mindset. Goodman advises globally between Berlin and Shanghai and promotes children as the president of Cool Strong Kids e.V.
