Bodybuilding for the brain: John Pelley at TEDxTexasTechUniversity
ฝัง

- John attempts to show his audience how action and sleep are used to build a strong brain as well as a strong body. Bodybuilding requires action for muscular growth and the growth occurs during sleep. Similarly, learning requires action for the physical growth of brain cells and this also occurs during sleep. Active learning experiences (sketching, organizing, discussing, etc.) are needed for the brain to replay them during sleep and that action must also be associated with emotion, if either the exercise routine or the learning experience is to be effective. Brain cells develop a temporary record of our experiences during the day but we don't make that record permanent until we sleep. As we replay our experiences during sleep, only those with emotional value are retained, or consolidated, into memory. This can be seen physically in the development of a network of branched connections between brain cells, called dendritic trees. Muscle cells grow, brain cells grow.
The audience will be shown how to apply action and sleep to employ bodybuilding for the brain.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This talk should be called "Gains for the Brains"
"It's what you do when you don't have too, that determines what you'll be when you can no longer help it."
It is the universal truth about who you are or who you determine to become.
*When you don't have to, not too.
Glad to be part of your learning journey.
This is an absolutely wonderful TED Talk surprised that the number of views of this talk is so low. It deserves far more views and likes.
you probably dont care but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me

Who else skipped brain day this week
Juan Manuel Caso underrated comment
Everyday bruh
Wow
That's like skipping "Leg Day." Hehe...
u dont skip brain, brain skips itself 😁
Great talk! This guy is super chill in his presentation. Makes the concepts simple and easy to understand.
Wonderful speech. His deep and soothing voice definitely helps bring his points across.
Excellent, short and to the point!!! May the Good Lord shower you with many more Blessings!!!
Wow! Very informative, I always talk to myself and it works, Thanks Dr. John
I love how he ended up with a joke, so that listeners could have positive connotations with what he have said which would let out brain to learn it during sleep %)
TH-cam did a good job to put this video in my related, much obliged, this small lection is great
I love that your comment gave me a joke to look forward to!
Terrific mind growing info and ideas - perfectly and warmly executed. Thank you John.
i LOVE HIS OPENING
It is great to have a concise TED talk that sticks to the point. I loved this.
simple and very profound. Thanks
This guy is cool, I met him at a medical education conference, he was a great speaker and very humble despite his excellent credentials.
Great talk, with both great insight AND practical suggestions in a short time.
One of my favorite.
Great insight will hit the gym
Amazing.. He is amazing... He is almost like Robert salposky... Speechless.. It is quite clear
Vic, I just noticed this and had to thank you for the high compliment. Sapolsky is one of my heros!
As a young kid I used to walk around our family farm . Question many things around me . Observe nature than think & ask myself what the possibilities may be . Strange enough the right answer would come to me ! Years later I would confirm to myself . Realize I knew much of what I’m being taught
thank you very much John.
Presumably an alternative to talking to yourself that also activates motor skills would be writing.
or you can always do a vlog. trains your presentation skills and your self confidence in how you look at yourself
Great Ted Talk! Learned something new today! Always keeping training your brain!
Thank you for the talk!
John at his best!
Love it. I’ve found what he explains to work in my own life. It’s been dramatic
Thank you Sean Connery! Great stuff!
this is so good, short and to the point !
Really powerful insight in such short video... Fascinating is simplicity used to explain brain complexity
Undervalued content.
thank you thank you and thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I love that, it was epic!!
THIS SPEECH IS WAY TO SHORT GIVE ME MORE JOHN PELLEY
Thank you John Pelley
I like your sign in name. It compels one to finish Gandhi's quote, "Be the future you wish to create." Concise and powerful. This is what I teach my students when I teach them how to learn.
very informative...
I approve of this! Congratulations, great video.
This is very helpful !
Thank you for sharing :)
That’s why all the best teachers are the ones who are funny. When you laugh, the information tends to resonate more.
So be careful when someone is using comedy to get their message across, they could be placing incorrect information in your head simply by making you laugh.
Cool speech. Perfectly timed, in my suggestions, for me as I used to work out a lot and was making progress but a combination of minor injuries, increased study workload and increased distractions have got in the way recently. I will be going back at some point but I've been thinking about how to do better in my maths degree as there is no doubt the work has become more challenging for me. It might help to rethink how I learn.
Awesome content, awesome narrator.
Very noble endeavor. May god’s blessings keep you healthy and joyful and your life becomes a celebration. May god blossom your consciousness
Thankyou Sir
That was really interesting
"Go up baby, Go up!"
Thank you sir, I've learned sth. today
Great talk, but I wish it were longer; mainly want to see more totally comprehensive information about the minute areas of the brain, and how to hit them. There was no mention of the opposing hemispheres and their differences either, which is a little disappointing. Still, a great jump start for anyone looking to improve the mind.
Thanks a bundle!
Superb...
You are a very slow talker, i literally fell-off to sleep 😴. Well you had good peice of information that's what i liked about it and whatched it full!
2x is the perfect speed to play this video
or any video
I just can listen by 75% 😂😂
I would add to the title "John Pelley, MBA, PhD" ...
Amazing ted talk )
Hey class of 2023. If you’re watching this in 2018 in Mrs RBs class, I was there too. Leave a comment describing your year in science honors.
muh dik fell awf
Huh nope
You sound like a cool teacher tho
Fuuk
What he describes is known as Feynman method of learning
Does he have a website? I'd like to learn more and improve my intelligence.
8:33
My brain during video - is that bubble wrap on tge display
I therefore must have "shallow sleep" most nights because I dream more often than not. Do nightmares occur during shallow sleep also ?
I'm gonna go working out now
lifting some coffee?
Can someone summarize this talk for me in a few bullet points?
thanks in advance
i'm not doing this only to assist you, but also to reinforce my own learning
-the brain does not have fixed intelligence, it can grow
-for growth to happen these conditions must be met:
1. know one's brain
2. make decisions
3. DO SOMETHING - decision alone will not be enough, action must be taken
4. SLEEP - also extremely important as this is when learning really happens/is solidified into the brain. your brain replays the day's activities and decides what is important or not. it only keeps what is important. he says that for the brain to see it as important, an emotion needs to be attached to the thing one is learning
-there are four different skills the brain uses that we can improve: sensory, memory, thinking, and motor skills
-sensory can be improved by mindfulness meditation, which help us increase focus and attention
-memory can be improved by elaborating the big picture. he brushes through quickly because of the time restriction, but in essence just add more details to your ruminations and creation. he references drawing larger concept maps so i imagine this applies to anything like writing a story or even just imagining a room in your head and adding details
thinking which is associated with decision making can be improved by always asking what when where who why how
motor skills are improved by talking to one's self. he doesn't really go into that much in this video.
Neurogenesis + neuroplasticity 😍
Can anyone recommend some good talks similar to this one?
No pain no brain!
☕🍺👍 thank you
Ok, but untill what age that kind of excercise is effective?
2 files were updated
This guy: BIG BRAIN TIME BOIS
Wait... so my lifelong problems with sleep are the primary cause of why I have so much trouble retaining information and the worst experiences in my life are the ones I recall the clearest because I have that emotional component to them?! Are you serious? Fml.
That’s it!? In a nut shell. Sleep and use shrooms Monthly or bi monthly with keto diet
.period don’t forget to micro-dose lsd
yassina alsahlania well depending on what meds your on but yes:)
How does this fit in with sociopaths? If learning is only triggered when emotion is attached to the new information, then how can we have highly intelligent sociopaths who have little to not emotional capacity?
They do have emotional capacity (for themselves). What they actually lack is empathy.
Maybe because sociopath is a buzz word more than a description for a type of human.
@@estefaniaibanezreyes4078 they are empathic (they understand if you are happy or sad) but not sympathic(they don't identify with your happiness or sadness)
Most ironic truism of all time: "Learning occurs during sleep" 👂 👂 👂6:50
Sorry I don't want to listen all the video, please can you tell me if for increase intelligence is enought to practice bodybuilding?
He is telling us how to become more intelligent
what is meant by "elaborate big picture"?
See reply to Parodix below.
What does it mean to elaborate your big picture?
A simple way to elaborate is to keep asking how. How is this part of my big picture related to other concepts that I'm learning? How can I can I subdivide a concept into subtopics or sub-concepts? How can I incorporate other concepts into my big picture to make it easier to increase understanding and memory? Remember to talk to yourself. Your brain tries to save energy and it naturally gets as lazy as you let it. Making sense out loud demands that you think clearly and it also sets your brain up for consolidation during sleep.
If only there would be a isometric training equivalent for brain development in intelligence.
All fun and games until the coffee shop call the police and you get locked in a mental institution
Great speech but didn’t learn a lot from it
I would suggest you listen to it again. Just the two main ideas I got from listening to him are really worth a lot more than many other videos I have watched. 1. You can exercise your brain to make it grow. 2. talking to yourself is a great tool for that purpose. I wish I would have known this when I was young, but even at my age, I might still have great use for these two ideas.
So its confirmed,Praying make you jenius,thats why Daniel is so much clever than the other,he pray and pray,talking to God
Does it actually increase IQ?
Yes
Also iq is inaccurate
Taking iq tests raises iq
Buff brain time
Hmmm
This TED talk couldve be way shorter .
LSD in very small doses can support this work very well :)
@@__Nicholas__ your're right! Last weekend I was meditating on LSD and got the message "you don't need this anymore". Funny to read this comment now :D
We humans ARE SUPPOSED TO INGEST CANNABINOIDS!!!
Why that nzmber of views?
People dont Like bodybuilding xD
No gain no brain
This guy has no idea what he's talking about. I'm a PHD student in cognitive neuroscience all this guy does is poorly explain how some types of learning occurs. Learning and intelligence are very different; in fact, one of the most universal (although somewhat simplified) definitions of intelligence is the ability to learn. Intelligence is mostly fixed. Brain performance and learning ability is almost entirely determined by genetics. The only science-backed advice he offers is the importance of quality sleep, and possibly meditation. However, he completely misunderstands basic definitions and mechanisms of neuro and psych.
Christian Puzzo Hi Christian, it seems that until now you do not know anything from David Perkins (Harvard) - he explains the definition of intelligence in a new way - or from Bruce Lipton respectively epigenetics?
Christian, I'm not sure whose lab you are working in but you are about 20 years out of date. I can help you correct that if you will have your advisor contact me for some references on how the brain processes and consolidates information. Just Google my name and add the word "medical" to narrow down the hits and you will access the home page to my website. From there you can decide on what you want to do. A little more advice that I give my students. Don't give opinions and don't accept opinions. They are lazy thinking. Instead you should provide rationales. Rationales are something you can debate, opinions just lead to playground arguments. To your credit you do eventually try to provide rationales but they are incorrect. This is not the vehicle to debate your statements, but one resource other than my website that will help get you started is a book by James Zull, "The Art of Changing the Brain". I can see that you are young and new to graduate work, and your willingness to speak out will eventually serve you, but you need to learn a little more.
Man, what an AWFUL speech that was!!!
The topic is VERY interresting and imortant for almost everyone. But the speech and the speaker were god awful.
Get ur ears tested. Ear fungus
Sounds too judgemental without specifics.
I felt the same. Seems like he memorized the information. Doesn't seem credible.. The information is too basic but useful i guess. All he said was exercise and sleep to recover.
if you dont follow what is detailed in the talk, this can happen to you too
@@willm3027 Hi Will, you are right. I did memorize the talk. It took me 30 years to memorize it. If it is not credible, then it would be important to notify the scientists in brain research, sleep research, human performance research, and cognitive science research of the need to retract their findings. Also, you should never guess. Either know or don't know. And, one final response, maybe the most important, regarding your summary statement. What I said was learn from the way exercise and learning both have their effect during sleep. While your comments seem to reflect some insecurity on your part, you gave me a chance to address others like you that need to be clear when they offer suggestions.
