Digital Detox for Your Neural Networks: Brain Health in the Technology Era with Carl D. Marci MD
Description
Prioritizing brain health in children is crucial, as their brains continue to mature until around age 20, making them particularly susceptible to manipulation before reaching full cognitive development. In our present technology, a digital detox has been shown to provide effective coping mechanisms for our neural networks, enabling us to better regulate our emotions and adapt to real-life situations..
To seek the antidote for the rise of device addiction and the decline of human connection, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen talks with Dr. Carl D. Marci, a leader in the field of social and consumer neuroscience, about the impact of digital technology on brain health.
Dr. Marci talks about how our devices can cause addiction and who is most susceptible. He also shares tips on how to consciously complete a digital detox and prepare ourselves and our children for the next wave of AI technology, as well as concrete findings from his book, REWIRED: Protecting Your Brain in the Digital Age.
