iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind

Their insights are extraordinary, their behaviors unusual. Their brains—shaped by the era of microprocessors, access to limitless information, and 24-hour news and communication—are remapping, retooling, and evolving. They're not superhuman. They're your twenty-something coworkers, your children, and your competition. Are you keeping up?

In iBrain, Dr. Gary Small, one of America's leading neuroscientists and experts on brain function and behavior, explores how technology's unstoppable march forward has altered the way young minds develop, function, and interpret information. iBrain reveals a new evolution catalyzed by technological advancement and its future implications: Where do you fit in on the evolutionary chain? What are the professional, social, and political impacts of this new brain evolution? How must you adapt and at what price?
While high-tech immersion can accelerate learning and boost creativity, it also has its glitches, among them the meteoric rise in ADD diagnoses, increased social isolation, and Internet addiction. To compete and thrive in the age of brain evolution, and to avoid these potential drawbacks, we must adapt, and iBrain—with its Technology Toolkit—equips all of us with the tools and strategies needed to close the brain gap.

About the Authors
Dr. Gary Small is a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA Semel Institute and directs the Memory and Aging Research Center and the UCLA Center on Aging. He is one of the world's leading experts on brain science and has published numerous books and articles. Scientific American magazine named him one of the world's top innovators in science and technology, and he frequently appears on The Today Show, Good Morning America, 20/20 and CNN.
Dr. Small has invented the first brain scan that allows doctors to see the physical evidence of brain aging and Alzheimer's disease in living people. Among his numerous breakthrough research studies, he now leads a team of neuroscientists who are demonstrating that exposure to computer technology causes rapid and profound changes in brain neural circuitry.

Gigi Vorgan wrote, produced and appeared in numerous feature films and television shows before teaming up with her husband, Dr. Gary Small, to co-write The Memory Bible, The Memory Prescription, The Longevity Bible, and iBrain. She lives in Los Angeles with Dr. Small and their two children.

Er internettet ved at ændre din hjerne?

Forskning foretaget af den amerikanske neuroforsker, Gary Small fra University of California (UCLA) viser, at internettet ikke blot har ændret på måden, som vi arbejder på, men det teknologiske fremskridt har også ændret vores hjerne. Modgiften er hjernegymnastik.


Medredaktør, på Kommunikationsforum.dk, Brian Due og hjerneforsker ved MR--afdelingen på Hvidovre Hospital Martin Skov har skrevet en spændende artikel om internettets effekt på hjernens udvikling.
En ganske almindelig ”videnarbejder” åbner sin e-mail cirka 50 gange om dagen. Han benytter sit instant-messaging program 77 gange til at sende og modtage hurtige beskeder. Og han besøger 40 forskellige websider. Han zapper rundt og får konstant nye input og stimuli. Hans forhold til nettet er som graverens forhold til skovlen. Lige så naturlig, mad og drikke er for ham, er hans daglige skud World Wide Web. Han er på nettet, ergo er han til.
Dette er i hvert fald hypotesen i Gary Small og Gigi Vorgans nye bog, iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind.
I iBrain males et noget dystert billede af fremtiden: Digitale mirakler som e-mail, sociale netværk på nettet, YouTube osv. er i færd med at fremavle en helt ny hjernetype: ukoncentreret, besat af hurtige belønninger, dårligt beskaffen hvad angår læring og social kontakt. Det er Smalls budskab. Men hvordan er det muligt?
Teknologiforfatteren Nicholas Carr har taget hul på diskussionen i en nylig artikel, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”. Carrs hovedbudskab er, at internettet påvirker vores evne til at læse, lære og tænke i en negativ retning, fortsættes: Lider du af techno-brain burnout?

Innovate Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2008/January 2009

James L Morrison, Editor-in-Chief, Innovate has been in touch to reminds us about the following below.



Our December 2008/January 2009 special issue on academics in virtual environments focuses on the possibilities and pitfalls of teaching in virtual worlds. Our contributors offer insights into how educators exploring multiuser virtual environments (MUVEs) can use the lessons learned in earlier versions of the technology, describe worlds built to meet specific educational needs, and offer advice for using SecondLife and other environments to help students with special needs.

Hacking Say and Reviving ELIZA:
Lessons from Virtual Environments
By Rochelle Mazar and Jason Nolan

As text-based predecessors to Second Life, MOOs can offer educators important insights on managing virtual communities to create rich, meaningful learning experiences. Rochelle Mazar and Jason Nolan outline two instructional experiments in MOOs that have implications for current educational practice in Second Life.

The Time Factor:
Leveraging Intelligent Agents and Directed Narratives in Online Learning Environments
By Greg Jones and Scott Warren

Using video games, virtual simulations, and other digital spaces for learning can be a time-consuming process; aside from technical issues that may absorb class time, students take longer to achieve gains in learning in virtual environments. Greg Jones and Scott Warren describe how intelligent agents, in-game characters that respond to the context of the game and to the individual player's situation, can accelerate learning in MUVEs and other virtual learning environments.

Using Second Life with Learning-Disabled Students in Higher Education
By Stephanie McKinney, Agi Horspool, Renee Willers, Omar Safie, and Laurie Richlin

The educational potential of Second Life is still in the process of being developed and harnessed. According to Stephanie McKinney, Agi Horspool, Renee Willers, Omar Safie, and Laurie Richlin, an essential step in this development will be to figure out how to use Second Life to support learning-disabled (LD) students who face numerous challenges in traditional instruction in higher education.

Innovate-Blog:
A Step Into Blog 2.0
By James Shimabukuro

Although we must say farewell to Stephen Downes's long-time contribution to this journal, Places to Go, and wish Stephen luck in his next endeavors, we announce a new feature this month.
In the inaugural edition of Innovate-Blog, James Shimabukuro introduces Innovate's newest feature, I-Blog. The advent of free blog publishing platforms and tools gave individuals a simple yet sophisticated means to publish directly to the Web. In the last few years, organizations and institutions have been using blogs for their own purposes, creating a kind of Blog 2.0 that is less about individuals and more about organizations and teams.
