"Abstract Placebo effects are beneficial effects that are attributable to the brain-mind responses to the context in which a treatment is delivered rather than to the specific actions of the drug. They are mediated by diverse processes - including learning, expectations and social cognition - and can influence various clinical and physiological outcomes related to health. Emerging neuroscience evidence implicates multiple brain systems and neurochemical mediators, including opioids and dopamine. We present an empirical review of the brain systems that are involved in placebo effects, focusing on placebo analgesia, and a conceptual framework linking these findings to the mind-brain processes that mediate them. This framework suggests that the neuropsychological processes that mediate placebo effects may be crucial for a wide array of therapeutic approaches, including many drugs."

"Repeatable, Practical, Proven, Peer-Reviewed Science From cradle to the grave, your brain will process more events than there are stars in our universe. As your body's "central processing unit," your brain is in charge of a staggering array of functions, from processing and perceiving stimuli to motor control and memory storage. Habits and beliefs programmed into your mind over a lifetime of responding to experiences are stored in long-term memory, and may cause you to resist new ways of doing things. However, rapid shifts in neural activity can create new associations, habits or beliefs.1 NeuroGym's "Innercising" methods help you to adopt new perceptions and behaviors and solve old problems quickly and efficiently. Moreover, Innercising® applies practical mental training techniques shown through scientific research to improve mental and emotional functioning. 1. Sánchez-Cañizares, J. (2014).

"Neuroscience confirms that your brain changes throughout your lifetime, which is a concept known as neuroplasticity. It's the term used to describe a sequence of processes that take place in your brain in response to incoming stimuli. In other words, your emotions, behaviors, experiences, and thoughts physically change the way your brain functions."

"Fast ForWord has 21 studies that meet WWC Evidence Standards for Adolescent Literacy, Beginning Reading and English Language Development - the most of any reading intervention evaluated. Positive effectiveness ratings and improvement indices were found for: Alphabetics Reading Fluency Comprehension English Language Development (largest improvement index of interventions evaluated) When compared to other interventions evaluated by WWC, Fast ForWord is the only intervention with positive effects for English Learner AND Literacy Outcomes for students grades K-10 in individual, small group, and whole class settings."

"The story of Scientific Learning begins with four research scientists: Michael Merzenich, William Jenkins, Paula Tallal, and Steven Miller. When the work of these four scientists intersected, their collaboration proved that the underlying cognitive processes that influence speech and language problems could be identified-and permanently improved. These findings led to the development of the Fast ForWord program, a groundbreaking computer-based reading intervention. The scientists then founded Scientific Learning to bring their program out of the lab and into the lives of struggling readers."

"There's so much about the human brain that continues to baffle and mystify our top medical researchers, but one aspect of its complex design is starting to come into focus. Contrary to previous widely held beliefs, the human brain exists in a perpetual state of constant change. The documentary The Brain That Changes Itself explores these groundbreaking findings as heralded in a book of the same title by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Norman Doidge."
