Скачать или смотреть The brain symphony: how brain connectivity shapes cognitive abilities

What if intelligence isn’t about a single "smart" part of the brain but about how well your entire brain communicates?
In this collaboration between ⁠ScySphere⁠ and The Beautiful Chaos (https://open.spotify.com/show/3QppNFg...) podcasts, we explore groundbreaking research revealing that intelligence is a symphony of connections across the brain. Using fMRI data and machine learning, scientists are uncovering how fluid and crystallized intelligence rely on the strength and distribution of neural networks. We’ll break down what this means for brain training, education, and even the future of cognitive enhancement. Whether you’re a science buff or just curious about how your mind works, this episode will change the way you think about intelligence. Tune in and discover the harmony behind your brain’s power! 🧠🎶
