'Fighting cancer taught me how to live'

See on Scoop.it - Healthcare Professionals


Albert Espinosa insists that his gruelling, 10-year battle against cancer was a happy time.
The book, which is being published for the first time in the UK, details the discoveries he made during his illness – including how to stay in touch with your inner 14-year-old, or contemplate your own death – which he believes can apply to life outside hospitals. The tone veers from humorous to just plain odd; one chapter is dedicated to the delights of “positive wanking” (proving perhaps that it is possible to be too in touch with your inner 14-year-old). A word-of-mouth sensation, it has sold more than a million copies and been published in 20 other countries.

The BC government wants to make a bunch of online textbooks available for free to university students, but they still have a fair bit of homework to do.
The B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education plans to commission textbook authors or developers to put together online textbooks for popular undergraduate courses. As a condition of funding, they’ll be available through a Creative Commons licence that makes them free for anyone to use, reuse and revise. A nonprofit called BCcampus, acting as an agent of the government, will store the textbooks online.

Can biofeedback-based videogames help kids regulate anger and emotions? | SharpBrains

Chil­dren with seri­ous anger prob­lems can be helped by a sim­ple video game that hones their abil­ity to reg­u­late their emo­tions, finds a pilot study at Boston Children’s Hos­pi­tal. Results were pub­lished online Octo­ber 24 in the jour­nal Ado­les­cent Psy­chi­a­try…The fast-paced game involves shoot­ing at enemy space­ships while avoid­ing shoot­ing at friendly ones. As chil­dren play, a mon­i­tor on one fin­ger tracks their heart rate and dis­plays it on the com­puter screen. When heart rate goes above a cer­tain level, play­ers lose their abil­ity to shoot at the enemy space­ships. To improve their game, they must learn to keep calm.”

The Learning Genome Project is transforming the face of education by making personalized learning a reality for every child.

Have you ever seen a child struggle through the one-size-fits-all curriculum? Have you ever seen a child who is limited by the education they receive? A child who is bored? Disillusioned? Have you wondered over our apparent inability to offer children something better? That honors them for who they are? We have. We think every child deserves learning opportunities that are customized for their specific developmental level, learning preferences, interests, strengths and weaknesses. We think it is time to satisfy this challenge.

Manipulating Critical Periods for Brain Development

See on Scoop.it - Psychology Professionals



Re-opening Windows: Manipulating Critical Periods for Brain Development:


The brain acquires certain skills—from visual perception to language—during critical windows, specific times in early life when the brain is actively shaped by environmental input. Scientists like Takao K. Hensch are now discovering pathways in animal models through which these windows might be re-opened in adults, thus re-awakening a brain’s youth-like plasticity. Such research has implications for brain injury repair, sensory recovery, and neurodevelopmental disorder treatment. In addition, what we know today about these critical windows of development already has enormous implications for social and educational policy.
