My goal is to share information that will stimulate your thinking and observations about your brain’s innate energy advantage, trigger increased awareness at an individual level, provide options for behaviors, and offer examples for observing and recognizing brain-lead behaviors in others. Use these practical applications as a springboard for your own. Above all, have fun in the process!
Although I have relied heavily on brain function research, a plethora of studies, and discussions with other brain researchers, the summaries represent my own brain’s observations and opinions.
Typically, conclusions from research projects and studies are presented in the form of generalizations. They apply to nearly 70% of the population (e.g., the red portions on the drawing of the Bell Curve of distribution that represent the first standard deviation on either side of the mean). Because each human brain develops uniquely, however, there are always exceptions. Some of the remaining 30% of the population will tend to match the generalizations even more closely, and some less closely.
If some of your personal characteristics / behaviors don’t match a specific generalization, it doesn’t invalidate the research. It does exemplify individual uniqueness, as no two brains are ever identical in structure, function, or perception, not even the brains of identical twins. Avoid discounting first-impression mismatches too quickly, however. Perhaps you haven’t had the opportunity to hone a specific skill, have lived much of your life trying to meet expectations that led your away from your innate giftedness, or your personal past experiences have impacted you in unusual ways.
