Description: While most of us have heard the phrase “use it or lose it,” very few understand what “it” means, or how to properly “use it” in order to maintain brain function and fitness. The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness is an invaluable guide that helps readers navigate growing brain research and identify the lifestyle factors and products that contribute to brain fitness. By gathering insights from eighteen of the world’s top scientists and offering tools and detailed descriptions of over twenty products, this book is an essential guide to the field of brain fitness, neuroplasticity and cognitive health. An accessible and thought-provoking read, The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness educates lifelong learners and professionals in healthcare, education, business, etc., on emerging trends and forecasts of what the future will hold.

Presentation by Alvaro Fernandez at the New York Neuropsychology Group (NYNG) 2017 Annual Spring Conference.
Hundreds of companies around the globe–now including Elon Musk’s Neuralink and even Facebook–are researching and developing new ways to help brain owners be smarter, sharper, and healthier. What explains this flurry of activity, and where may it be headed? What are the opportunities and challenges for the Neuropsychologists of the Future? We will structure the conversation around five emerging and thought-provoking statements:
1. There are 7.5 billion human brains out there, and everyone needs help 2. Lifelong neuroplasticity means all those brains can “sculpt” themselves 3. Mobile, sensing, wearable technologies, coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), provide a new platform to harness that neuroplasticity for good 4. Entrepreneurship and investments are fueling accelerated growth 5. Professionals are stepping up to help educate consumers and patients.

42 PROCTOR | December 2017
Mindfulness
Enhancing mental health in the law
As a litigation lawyer, I often
found myself over-engineering
courtroom scenarios in my head
and when things didn’t go to plan
it would retrospectively cause me
mental angst.
Many of my friends practising law are burnt
out and share these sentiments, with some
maintaining that whilst they may have the
resilience to adequately deal with stress in
the workplace, they are seeing an influx
of their colleagues taking stress leave and
suffering from anxiety and depression.
Recent studies show that one in five
Australian employees have taken time off
work due to feeling mentally unwell in the
past 12 months and that untreated mental
health conditions cost Australian workplaces
approximately $10.9 billion per year.1
What is mindfulness?
You can be forgiven for being a little flippant
when you hear the term mindfulness, as it
seems to be the ‘buzzword’ used by every
self-proclaimed personal development guru
out there. In essence though, mindfulness is
simply the psychological process of bringing
our complete and undivided attention to our
internal and external experiences, as they are
occurring in the present moment.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of practising mindfulness are
abundant. From a mental health perspective,
it is a simple, non-prescriptive measure
that can be used to alleviate stress, anxiety,
depression, chronic pain and addiction.
Generally speaking, practising mindfulness
vastly improves mental health and
performance in the course of our personal
and professional lives.
Where’s the evidence?
As a lawyer I insisted; show me the
evidence! So I did some research and
found that a technique known as functional
magnetic resonance imaging, used to detect
blood flow in the brain, confirms that when
people are practising mindfulness, only
the pre-frontal cortex becomes enlivened.
This is the part of the brain associated with
awareness, attention, control, concentration
and decision making.
With prolonged practice, mindfulness
increases neuroplasticity, which in turn
enhances mental agility and performance.
It is because of this scientific evidence –
transcending it from a mere ‘buzzword’ to
being a credible and powerful tool to enhance
mental health – that we now have a range
of successful CEOs, business professionals
and leading institutions utilising mindfulness
to enhance their performance.2
The question I then asked myself was:
“If these successful bodies and people are
using mindfulness to reduce stress and
enhance their performance, why aren’t I?”
How can I start
practising mindfulness?
Daily meditation
The most powerful tool we know that can
be used to practise mindfulness is meditation.
I’ve personally been meditating for ten years
now and don’t believe I’d be able to get
through my day without it. It anchors my being
to everything that is important in my life and
has taught me.
