To know, or not to know.

DeepGamma cares deeply about how to maximise brain power.

The brain is the most complex organ in the body and the centrepiece of our intelligence. It enables cognitive skills through its complex network of neurons, structures, and neurotransmitters. You may not realise that our brain performs an enormous amount of cognitive work all the time, starting from taking in information to putting it to work, allowing us to interact intelligently with the world around us.

What is cognition?

The word comes from the Latin root cognoscere, which means “to know”.  It usually refers to everything that is related to knowledge. Our cognition is the accumulation of information that we have acquired through thought, learning, or experience.

What are Cognitive Skills?

Cognitive skills are mental processes and tasks our brain performs.

They are essential for effective learning, acquiring knowledge, understanding experiences, solving problems, interacting with the world, and many more.

Here are key cognitive skills that matter:

• Perception: This allows us to make sense of the world through stimuli that we receive from our different senses.
• Attention: This allows us to concentrate on specific stimuli or activity and ignore all other irrelevant stimuli. The nature of our attention can also changes over our lifetime.
• Memory: This allows us to code, store, and recover information we learned previously. Memory is also a foundation for learning.
• Logical-Thinking: This allows us to analyse situations and make effective decisions based on logical reasoning.
• Language: This allows us to understand and communicate with others effectively.

Why Cognitive Skills Matter?

Here are the main reasons we need to develop cognitive skills.

• Learning: They help us with learning, acquiring new knowledge or skills.
• Metacognition: They allow us to think about our own thinking processes. This helps us understand a complex topic and adjust our actions accordingly.
• Executive Function: They also help us with higher order cognitive skills, such as analysing, evaluation, planning, and problem-solving.

Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity is what DeepGamma aims for. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This adaptability is crucial for learning and memory.

Engaging in cognitive activities can increase neuroplasticity, leading to improved cognitive skills.

Brain power can be maximised with a variety of methods ranging from modern scientific techniques to ancient traditions. Here and now is the best place to begin.
