According to Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas Founder/Chief Director/Dee Wyly Distinguished University Professor Sandi Chapman,
“My goal is in your head. Yes, you! Your brain. Your BrainHealth. In 2018 I want to dramatically transform the way healthy individuals of all ages think and act to keep their brain more fit.
“We all have a stigma about our brain and fear loss of its dependability. Why wouldn’t we all strive for a healthier, more resilient brain as a major New Years’ Resolution? Because until now, people didn’t realize they could do something to improve brain performance – to physically change their brain’s ‘software’ and make it run more efficiently with greater energy.
“To tackle the grandest challenge of our time, we will launch the 3rd BrainHealth Initiative, teaming up with 25+ brain health experts from around the world. The lead goal is to translate new discoveries into actionable steps to fortify brain performance and inoculate against decline. You can, regardless of age can increase brain performance over time.
“In 2018, I’m setting out to show you, the best brain years are ahead of you! We just opened the Brain Performance Institute as part of UT Dallas’ Center for BrainHealth. That means evidenced-based brain health offerings- classes, trainings, assessments, apps, lectures, online cognitive trainings, monitoring of brain performance. My 2018 is about encouraging you to care for your brain like you do for your body.
“My vision is to energize Dallas as the epicenter for Innovative Thinkers and to attract major brain health enterprises and technologies to this region. Looking into the near future -Dallas will become the go-to place to harness our fullest brain potential.
“If you’re like me, you need an actionable step one to dive into the New Year. Here’s an idea. Starting in February we will have a lecture series every Tuesday night – ‘The Brain: An Owner’s Guide’* covering topics ranging from Sleep, to Happiness, Alzheimer’s and Technology and our Brain in our modern world.
“My goal for 2018 is to you see your face in the audience. The more we learn, the more we share, the better we can be at any age!”
