3-Hour Brain Boot Camp at UCLA

The Center for Memory and Aging at UCLA offers a half-day intensive course that covers (and I quote):

  1. Measure baseline memory, stress and fitness levels to individualize healthy lifestyle programs.
  2. Learn basic techniques to respond to everyday memory challenges..
  3. Sample a healthy brain diet and learn recipes for a brain-protective nutritional plan.
  4. Master advanced memory techniques for names and faces.
  5. Practice relaxation exercises to improve mental focus.
  6. Map out a daily lifestyle plan for maintaining benefits for the long haul.
  7. Gauge progress and notice results in just one day.

The course is geared towards older adults with memory concerns. It was developed by Gary Small and other experts in memory, aging and the brain.

Interested to hear from readers that have completed this course or similar courses that take a scientific approach to age-related memory challenges.
