Experiential Neuroscience:
How to Improve Intellectual and Physical Performance
Paula Oleska, MA

As an infant, physical movements and sensory stimulation develop the brain and lay the foundation for intellectual functioning and behavioral patterns. As adults, crossword puzzles and brain teasers are simply not enough to preserve and develop the brain. By adding movement and touch, we can take advantage of the brain/body connection in order to achieve and maintain the brain's integrity. This workshop offers physical activities that make up for missed links and improve coordination among different brain systems. These exercises can improve focus, comprehension, memory, reading speed, and solve many behavioral and health problems.
