"I think...therefore IM" - Kevin McGrew keynote slides at Interactive Metronome 2012 conference

This past October I  delivered the keynote address at the annual Interactive Metronome professional conference in San Antonio, TX.   The title of my address was “I think…therefore IM.” The IM staff is busy editing the video of all presentations, including my address.  I am anxious for the final edited videos to be announced.

[Click on image to enlarge]

For those who just can’t wait, I have taken the liberty of uploading copies of the key slides from my address to my SlideShare account.  You can view the slides on-line or download them for off-line viewing.  The disadvantage of viewing these static slides is you will not hear what I said during each slide—which for some slides was considerable.  Also, the live presentation had some nifty moving images that demonstrated certain key concepts (e.g., a moving red ball to demonstrate focus/controlled attention and how it can be captured or disrupted).  In a prior IM-HOME post I included a video that included some of these effects with a brief voice narration.  You can view this video at my prior IM-HOME keynote preview post.  

 [Click on image to enlarge]

The most important part of the presentation was a three-tiered explanation (see slide above) of the theoretical and research-based hypotheses regarding the underlying brain and cognitive constructs involved in the cognitive component of IM training—and, its ability to produce positive outcomes across a variety of human cognitive performance domains.  That is, “what is happening under the IM hood?”

You can access the static PPT slides either by visiting the SlideShare show directly (click here).  Or, you can visit The MindHub® portal where the slide show is listed under the neurotechnology section of Research and Reports.  If you have not checked out the MindHub, I would suggest you give it a glance as it is a portal to a wide array of information regarding human cognitive abilities, assessment, school learning, applied neurotechnologies (i.e., IM), etc.

 

Be sure to sign up for the MindHub newsletter.  The next edition is planned for e-delivery in the next 1-2 weeks.  The availability of the IM conference videos will be announced in the MindHub newsletter.  They will also be announced at the Brain Clock blog.

Kindle edition of The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness: Free until this Friday

In honor of everyone with a brain and an ebook reader, we are making the Kindle edition of The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness free to download until this Friday. You will notice that a few sections require updating (we're working on a second edition) but the book has aged pretty well since 2009. Description: Named a Best Book by AARP, The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness is an invaluable guide that helps readers navigate growing brain research and identify the lifestyle factors and products that contribute to brain fitness. By gathering eighteen of the top scientists and offering insight, tools, and analysis of over twenty products, this text is an essential guide to the field of neuroplasticity and cognitive health. An accessible and thought-provoking read, this book also engages readers on emerging trends and forecasts of what the future will hold. While most of us have heard the phrase "use it or lose it," very few understand what "it" means, or how to properly "use it" in order to maintain brain function and fitness. The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness is designed to fill this gap.

If ebooks are not your thing, the book is also available as a $14.95 paperback here.
