If you read NurteShock you already know how crucial the ability to focus is. The great news is, you can train this ability and not only increase your Intelligence & Attention Span, but also your game score. http://www.drjonathanreed.co.uk/wordpress/category/working-m...

so next time you kill a few bad guys, or conquer another empire (on your screen), do it knowing that you just got a little more intelligent.



What is NurteShock?


Probably a typo for "NurtureShock", a recently published book: http://www.amazon.com/btw-you-can-put-anything-here-or-even-...

Interesting piece, thanks for sharing. You sound like you read on the topic quite a bit - got any other recommendations for things to check out?


Wooha, where to begin; I did my thesis on neuroeconomics, one of the best resources I found was on Squidoo http://www.squidoo.com/neuroeconomics (a lot of ads)

If you are generally interested in the topic of improving your brain, the top site I found is http://www.sharpbrains.com/

pretty good for understanding the brain's effect on behavior is http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/

Those 3 sites are already quite a lot. If you decide this is not enough, just mail me, I am happy to help.

PS: lecture from berkeley http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details_new.php?seriesid=...
