There are a staggering number of books, websites and journals describing modern neuroscience and techniques for improving cerebral function, but unfortunately, most rely on here-say or personal experiences rather than hard evidence. This has led to a great deal of confusion amongst the general public and medical professionals alike, leading to many dodgy, expensive and possibly harmful therapies finding their way into popular culture. More recently, groups are attempting to investigate neuro-improving interventions in a more scientific way, however the information is fragmented and difficult to access outside of scientific circles.

It is not our intention to ignore the dodgy stuff but rather to point out the lack of evidence, so individuals can make an informed decision and at no point do we intend to deny long held beliefs. If you want to believe that rose quartz left out in the moonlight improves your brain, we say go for it and we’ll even look into to the evidence, or lack thereof for this practise. Nothing is off limits and each topic will be reviewed as extensively as possible, with the level of evidence specified.

There is more information out there than can be summarized in a lifetime and will continue to evolve as long as we’re still interested and can find cool things to investigate. The brain is continuously growing and changing, hungry for energy and knowledge. Join us on this journey of discovery.
