In this public lecture as part of CNS 2017, Adam Gazzaley (UCSF, Neuroscape) describes a novel approach to use custom-designed video games to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement. He presents some of the latest work to integrate these video games with cutting-edge technologies (VR,......
We are living in extraordinary times. Rapid advances in information technology continuously transform our lives in countless ways. But we are now aware that our increasingly information-saturated world, coupled with growing expectations of constant availability and immediate responsiveness, can place excessive demands on our brains.......
A lot of my research was focused on the aging brain and trying to dissect what happens with healthy aging, independent of Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of dementia. What leads to impairments in how we interact fluidly with the world around us as we......
Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco, grew up playing video games on his Atari console. Now as a successful researcher, he’s exploring the potential role of video game-based therapy in slowing or preventing cognitive decline and possibly treating......

If you think the only health effect of gaming is a serious case of “couch potato,” you aren’t alone. But a few gamer-scientists are out to prove that games could actually make us healthier. Imagine a future where doctors prescribe games instead of pills and......
Dr. Adam Gazzaley on the Future of Cognitive Enhancement....
A fundamental challenge of modern society is how to enhance everyone’s brain function. For the healthy, this problem is a core mission of our educational system, and for the cognitively impaired it’s a critical goal of medicine. But will schools and hospitals be able to......
Hosted by renowned neuroscientist and M.D., Ph.D., Dr. Adam Gazzaley, The Distracted Mind delves deeply into attention, distraction, the myth of multi-tasking, and how to use the latest research to possibly improve our skills and abilities at any point during our lives. While the brain......
Dr. Gazzaley explores how our brains manage the river of data that constantly floods it, how its capacities can be exceeded, the consequences of this on our performance, and if a solution to the distracted mind is harnessed within out own brains....
Rhythm is a fundamental aspect of the universe at every level, and serves as a critical foundation for life on this planet. As we now understand it, brain function itself is dependent on complex rhythms of activity, which guides interactions between brain regions to generate......
Our brains exhibit an amazing ability to modify both their structure and function in response to new experiences throughout our lives, a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. There is emerging evidence showing the power of commercially available video games to improve cognitive function and transfer skills......
Now, with tablets and laptops in every bag and iPhones ever at our sides, our gray matter must meet the new challenges of the digital world. We understand that technology has dramatically altered our behaviors: the way that we work, play and interact with one......
Dr. Adam Gazzaley speaks on how the brain can be exercised and strengthened as you age at the AARP meeting in April 2013....
Dr. Adam Gazzaley studies the neural mechanisms of memory and attention, how these processes change with normal aging and dementia, and how we might intervene therapeutically to alleviate memory and attention deficits. Series: “UCSF Osher Mini Medical School for the Public”...
Our brains exhibit an amazing ability to modify both its structure and function in response to new experiences throughout our lives, a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. Efforts to capitalize on this plasticity have lead to the development of brain training interventions to improve cognitive abilities......
It is now known that our brain changes structurally and functionally in response to our interactions with our environment throughout our lives, not just during critical times like childhood. This modern perspective is called neuroplasticity and scientists are actively exploring the intricacies of this phenomenon.......
