How to Become a Genius with Neuroscience.

Program Overview

This 3-hour training program leverages neuroscience to enhance cognitive abilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills for students (ages 13–16, grades 8–10) or adults aspiring to maximize their intellectual potential. It focuses on optimizing brain functions to foster “genius-level” thinking through neuroplasticity, focus, and innovative strategies.

This Course is Useful For

Students in grades 8–10, professionals, or individuals seeking to boost cognitive performance.

Program Objectives

– Understand neural mechanisms behind high-level cognition and creativity.
– Apply brain-based techniques to enhance focus, memory, and problem-solving.
– Develop habits to sustain cognitive growth and innovative thinking.

Duration: 3 Hours

Training Modules

Module 1: Neuroscience of Genius Thinking (60 minutes)

Objective: Understand brain processes underlying exceptional cognition.

  • Overview:
    • Role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in executive functions like planning and decision-making (Miller & Cohen, 2001).
    • Hippocampus for memory and pattern recognition, key to creative insights.
    • Default Mode Network (DMN) for divergent thinking and creativity (Raichle, 2015).
    • Impact of neuroplasticity in rewiring the brain for enhanced intelligence.

Outcome: Participants learn how the brain supports genius-level thinking.

Module 2: Boosting Focus and Cognitive Skills (60 minutes)

Objective: Enhance concentration and mental agility with neuroscience techniques.

  • Overview:
    • Activating dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) with Pomodoro technique (25-minute focus blocks) for sustained attention.
    • Techniques to reduce amygdala-driven distractions:4-4-4-4 box breathing to calm stress.Dual n-back training to improve working memory.
    • Using mind mapping to engage visual cortex for creative problem-solving.

Outcome: Participants develop tools to sharpen focus and cognitive flexibility.

Module 3: Creativity, Resilience, and Lifelong Learning (60 minutes)

Objective: Foster innovative thinking and sustained cognitive growth.

  • Overview:
    • Stimulating DMN through divergent thinking exercises (e.g., brainstorming multiple uses for an object).
    • Role of sleep and exercise in memory consolidation and neurogenesis (hippocampal growth).
    • Managing stress with mindfulness to optimize amygdala and PFC balance.
    • Building a growth mindset to leverage neuroplasticity for lifelong learning.

Outcome: Participants cultivate habits for creativity, resilience, and continuous learning.
