 DVD Savant Review: Billion Dollar Brain
Billion Dollar Brain advances Harry Palmer to a different level of spy stylization; unlike other superspy series these Harry Saltzman pictures each have an individual personality.

Though it's the weakest entry in the original Harry Palmer spy series, "Billion Dollar Brain" is definitely worth a look for aficionados of Len Deighton's novels and Michael Caine's performances.
What is remarkable about "Billion Dollar Brain" is not the plot -- as muddled as any dreamed up by Deighton -- but that it is remarkably prescient.
Billion Dollar Brain had always disappointed in the past, but seen again in light of recent events it's taken on a whole new resonance.

 How Do We Retrain Our Brain Motivational Article by Arthur Buchanan
It may seem like a very hard technique and you are probably right and the reason being, you are used to what you have always done and if you are like most humans you tend to be with the negative approach more than positive.
One of the most basic steps to retraining our brain is to saturate your mind with the good clean, positive and motivational type stuff.
Well to start off, you start to watch your emotions, see how you feel about all the things that are going around you and before you open your mouth you think about that thought and see how you want to respond to it.

 New Toys + New Playmates = Better Brain Psychology Article by Susan Dunn, MA, Emotional Intelligence Coach
Some of the stereotypes we have about the brain and aging are being dispelled by recent research.
REALITY: “Stem” cells in the brain can create new neurons, and idle neurons will extend their branches to carry signals to and from other neurons indefinitely, under the right conditions.
REALITY: According to Paula Tallal, Rutgers neuroscientist, “You create your brain from the input you get,” i.e., intellectual stimulation strengthens the brain because in the normal course of living, our brains constantly reorganize themselves, which is called neuroplasticity.” Neuroplasticity accelerates with the amount and complexity of the new information our brains receive.
