Brain Rules to know yourself and your Children

Try mentally multiplying the number 8,388,628 by 2. Can you calculate the result in a few seconds? And one young man is able to multiply such numbers by two 24 times in a few seconds. And call the correct result each time. Others can name the exact time any moment, even if you wake him up at night. And one girl accurately determines the size of any object at a distance of six meters. Another six-year-old paints paintings so realistic and vivid that they even put them on display in a gallery on Madison Avenue. But none of them you can't teach how to tie shoelaces. Their IQ no higher than 50. The brain is something amazing.

Your brain may not be as unusual as those of these children, but it is amazing nonetheless. The human brain easily handles the most sophisticated communication system on Earth, reading the little black icons on the bleached wood canvas and understanding their meaning. To create this miracle, he sends an electrical impulse along wires hundreds of kilometers long to brain cells so tiny that thousands of such cells could fit in this string. And it all happens so fast that you don't even have time to blink. By the way, you just did it. And the most incredible thing is that most people have no idea how the brain works.

This ignorance leads to strange consequences. We try to talk on a cell phone and drive a car at the same time, although the human brain is not designed to perform several tasks at the same time when it comes to attention. We have created a stressful working environment in offices, but in such conditions, the productivity of the brain is reduced. The school system is designed in such a way that most of the learning process takes place at home. Perhaps it would be funny if it were not so harmful to mankind. Unfortunately, brain scientists rarely interact with teachers, professionals, educational leaders, accountants, and company executives. You don't own the information unless you read the journal Neuroscience over a cup of coffee.
