That’s why musicians are less likely to meet “Grandfather Alzheimer” and “Grandfather Parkinson” in old age!

Who but Tatiana Chernihivskaya knows everything? brain? A qualified neurolinguist, doctor of biology and philology, she spent most of her life studying the most complex organ of the central nervous system, and also researched the human psyche, especially in the part of the conscious and unconscious.

Today, a woman shares her personal knowledge and experience through interesting lectures that find their listeners in almost every corner of the world. Our editors decided to select some of the most apt and unexpected statements of the famous researcher.





The human brain.
  1. “The brain is a mysterious powerful thing, which for some reason we call ‘my brain.’” We have absolutely no reason for this: who is whose is a separate question.”


  2. “Music training greatly speeds up and activates the brain. It's music, because it's a completely different kind of brain work. People who started practicing on time, the “grandfather of Alzheimer’s” will be pushed away.


  3. The brain makes a decision 30 seconds before the person realizes the decision. 30 seconds is a long period of time for brain activity. So who decides, the man or his brain?


  4. “We have to take the brain seriously. He's lying to us. Think of the hallucinations. The person who sees them cannot be convinced that they do not exist. To him they are as real as to me the glass on this table. The brain fools him, giving him all the sensory information that the hallucination is real.”


  5. “In order not to be torn from within, you must speak out. For this there are confessors, friends and psychotherapists. A splinter, if it is not removed in time, will arrange blood poisoning. People who are silent and keep everything to themselves are not only at serious psychological or even psychiatric risk, but also at risk of somatics. Any professional will agree with me: it all starts with a stomach ulcer. The body is one and the mind and the body.”


  6. “People have to work with their heads, it saves the brain. The more it is turned on, the longer it is saved. Natalia Bekhtereva wrote shortly before leaving for a better world the scientific work “Smart live long”.


  7. “We are born with the most powerful computer in our head. But it has to be programmed. Some programs are already there, and some need to be downloaded there, and you pump your whole life until you die. He's rocking it all the time, you're always changing, rebuilding.


  8. The ability to receive a high-quality education can become an elite privilege, available only to the “initiated”. Recall Umberto Eco, who proposed in the novel “The Name of the Rose” to let into the library only those who are able and ready to perceive complex knowledge. There will be a division into those who will be able to read complex literature, and those who read signs and clip the information from the Internet. And the chasm will widen more and more.”




  9. “The brain is not just a neural network, it is a network of networks, a network of networks of networks. In the brain, 5.5 petabytes of information is three million hours of video viewing. Three hundred years of continuous viewing!
