BBC TV (2009) Battle of the Brain, Notes from a TV show with info from The Mind Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Mind Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Gardiner’s Multiple Intelligences are opposite what IQ is – a single intelligence.

The most controversial is the bodily kinesthetic intelligence.

“there is little science to Gardner’s theory”

There is more science to IQ and it’s been arounf 100 years or so.

IQ may indicate longevity and health.

IQ increases as you age, more education, more professional your job the higher your IQ goes.

Smokers are less smart!

From Robert Maxwell TV series on The Brain

Extroverts: less saliva

Introverts – more saliva

Puberty: older kids are slower at recognizing emotions than 10 year olds.

Young kids have no control over amygdala

Teenagers frontal lobes are confused so they are more easily led into taking risks –this creates dopamine.

The more risks we take, the more insensitive we become to dopamine so greater risks are need to reach the same state.

Mood altering:

Reading happy words releases serotonin from the brain stem, sad words reduce the amount of serotonin

This blog was very interesting to me because I experienced a handful of funerals whether it be for my loved ones and for people I know. But I honesty had no idea that "live streaming" funerals for someone who is not a celebrity was allowed in general because it can be seen as "disrespectful" to some especially the ones who are grieving. However, at the same time I also think that live streaming a funeral from different social media accounts isn't really a bad idea after all since live recordings can track who is watching at the moment and can allow viewers who cannot physically make it to the funeral/viewing to still pay their respect by commenting in the live feed. Therefore, utilizing this technology in this already digitalized world can be beneficial for those who cannot physically attend the funeral, as they can still pay respect online. But that should not stop everyone from physically attending as being there in person is the ideal way.
