Norman Doidge is, if not the inventor, then at least the populariser of a brand new science. That science is called neuroplasticity, and it develops from a growing understanding that the human brain – for centuries thought a fairly fixed and unregenerative organ – is in fact capable of much more significant self-repair and healing. Not only that, but much of the healing can be stimulated by conscious habits of thought and action, by teaching the brain to “rewire itself”. This presentation must not be missed.
As well as learning about new research and innovation, and sharing ideas, the conference will also touch on disabilities associated with brain injury such as cognitive, emotional and behavioural, including impulsivity, depression, anxiety and overall mental health. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: • Brain Injury Survivors • Friends and Families of Brain Injury Survivors • Professional and Health Care Providers • Teachers • Community Workers • Students • General Public • Law Enforcement and First Responders
