It is the last and final day of our conference. I am sad to be leaving such an outstanding conference, but I am ecstatic to see you all on Monday. Some amazing speakers today, talked more about our brain. The first speaker, Dr.Kenneth S.Kosik, spoke about strengthening our powers of attention, memory and concentration. He said a memory which is created with a strong emotion is unforgettable. Do you remember your first day of kindergarten? I remember meeting you on the very first day, it brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. You would love to know, that Dr.Kosnik thinks that a game called “Nintendo Brain Age” enchances our memory. My favorite quote by him: “Memory is about the future. The future is about imagination.”
Music is the way to make us excellent listeners, believes Dr.Nina Kraus. Certain parts of the brain are actually larger in volume for musicians. She used research to show that students who actively engage in music lessons have great listening skills. (Parents please visit this site for more info: www.brainvolts.northwestern.edu).
Tonight I will spend some time with my friends in DC. I’ll post again tomorrow, to let you know about my return trip home! See you soon!
