I have to exercise my brain, too
By: Alvaro Fernandez
I was exposed to a fun brain exercise on Monday: attend my first-ever live TV program, be ready for 3 very precise questions…and then be asked others.
The anchors were fun. It was fascinating to observe, behind the scenes, the making of a news program: constant last-minute apparent chaos, the lawyer in the “ask the lawyer” segment nowhere to be found…but everyone seem to had a fun time. And good mental stimulation-as long as they manage stress well.
Here you have the 3-minute clip from the local CBS’ Good Day Sacramento program, with a brief Q&A and a couple of brain teasers (Count the Fs and Stroop Test).
The 3 questions I was expecting were:
- What is Brain Awareness Week? see Dana’s and partners’ outreach events worldwide.
- What is SharpBrains? see Our Vision for Brain and Mind Fitness.
- What is the involvement of SharpBrains during Brain Awareness Week? check Brain Awareness Week.
Next time I will give more clear directions and maybe improve my English a bit too if I can…
If you want more teasers, here you have Top 10 Brain Teasers.
Alvaro, it was great seeing you in action talking about your passion. I am sure that you will be identified as the next big talk show host! Until that time arrives, we will continue to promote the importance of brain fitness as well as brain based thinking in general. Neal(Head Coach).
