Norman Doidge
Norman Doidge, MD, psychiatrist, researcher, psychoanalyst, poet, New York Times and international bestselling author, is the person who has brought this inspiring discovery of brain plasticity from the laboratory to the world's attention, and articulated the extraordinary practical implications, through his book, The Brain That Changes Itself which is available in over 100 countries, and which has already sold ¾ of a million copies. Scientist advisers and readers of Dana Foundation's Cerebrum recently chose The Brain That Changes Itself from among the 30,000 books on the brain, as the best general book on the brain ever written.
Dr. Norman Doidge takes his audiences through the latest developments in neuroscience to show our brain is plastic and can change its own structure and function by mental experience, even into old age. Dr. Doidge is a leading psychiatrist and researcher who has been credited with turning much of what we know and assume about the brain upside down. Doidge states the brain is not fixed, hardwired and unchangeable but through neuroplasticity we can understand the adaptability, health and power of the brain. Dr. Doidge shares principles which can help all of us benefit from this discovery. His audiences learn how thoughts can alter brain anatomy and how to improve and sharpen perceptions and memory, increase speed of thought and heal learning problems. Doidge's work was the basis for PBS's acclaimed television special The Brain Fitness Program.
Dr. Doidge is a frequent keynote speaker in North America, Europe, and Australia. He has lectured at major universities including conferences sponsored by Harvard, MIT, and Yale. He has presented his research at the United Nations, the White House, the London School of Economics, the Genoa Science Festival, and more.
