☆ MIT neuroscientist: 3 'remarkable' things that happen to your brain when you get rich
  + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Dr. Tara Swart Bieber | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Imagine waking up one morning and discovering that your financial circumstances have taken an extraordinary turn: you just received a huge financial windfall. As a MIT neuroscientist, I've always been fascinated by the intricate dance that occurs within the brain during these life-altering moments. Here are three remarkable things that happen to your brain when you unexpectedly receive a large sum of money overnight:1. As reality sinks in, bargaining could emerge, as the individual negotiates with themselves about how to manage the newfound wealth. Ultimately, acceptance can settle in, as the individual works through their changed reality and forges a path forward with their newfound wealth.

☆ MIT neuroscientist: The No. 1 skill that sets people with ‘excellent memory’ apart from those who struggle—'it's rare'
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Dr. Tara Swart Bieber | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Exercising your memory regularly is the key to brain enhancement, especially if you want to ward off memory issues later on. What separates people with excellent memory skills apart from those who struggle is that they have both a strong working memory (retaining information immediately after learning it) and long-term memory (recalling information more than a day after memorizing it). As a neuroscientist at MIT Sloan, here are two simple brain exercises I do every day to boost my working memory and long-term memory:1. Space repetition: Strengthen your long-term memoryThis method is all about boosting memory at increasingly longer intervals of time. When you go to the store later in the week, see how many items you can recall.
☆ MIT neuroscientist: 4 things I never do to avoid 'brain fog and forgetfulness'
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Tara Swart | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
In addition to stress and lack of sleep, it can be caused by the immune system creating an inflammatory response in the brain. As a neuroscientist, I study the causes of brain fog and forgetfulness. Even if you think you're relaxed, your body may be physically tense (e.g., stiff neck, back or shoulder pain). Box breathing is a simple way to help calm your brain. More than that can lead to a depressed mood, and less than that doesn't give the brain enough time to rest and reset.
☆ A neuroscientist shares the 3 exercises she does to stop stress and anxiety—in 'just a few minutes'
  + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( Tara Swart | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
As a neuroscientist, I use three exercises that take just a few minutes to reset my nervous system and feel calm again:1. Take a deep, long inhale through your nose for five seconds and hold. Sigh a slow, long exhale through your mouth for six seconds. Let your head come back up to its neutral position and shift your eyes to look forward again. The half-salamander stimulates the vagus nerves — a system that controls your heart rate — and triggers a relaxation response in our body.
