Dr. Boris Konrad On The Skill And Neuroscience Behind Memory Techniques
- Or listen in:
Greetings, SuperFriends!
Today we have a special treat, as we are actually joined by a neuroscientist researcher and memory competitor. In fact, this is someone whose work we have been quoting for many years, improving the scientific validity for everything that we do in SuperHuman Academy.
In case you've been wondering, our guest today is Dr. Boris Konrad. In the episode, Dr. Konrad talked about the research and he shared with us some interesting and surprising things that even I didn't know about mnemonic techniques and the incredible benefits that they can offer for your brain health and your life.
I really enjoyed this episode, and I'm sure you are going to as well!
