iRest Guided Meditation

MORE DATES AVAILABLE: SEE REGISTRATION PAGE. Integrative Restoration (iRest®) is a research-based, trauma-informed guided meditation. The practice can work to reduce stress and build resilience for meeting life’s persistent challenges. There is nothing to “do.” Just get comfortable and listen. Invite a sense of wholeness, the feeling of being rested and restored. iRest sessions at Center for BrainHealth are led by certified teachers through the Warrior Spirit Project.

iRest Session

The current approach to brain care is largely reactive, considered only when patients or families raise concerns. This approach is not working, and the more money is spent on it, the greater disability is generated. Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD, PhD, proposes a transformative approach, leveraging technology and learning from car racing to establish a “pit stop model of brain care,” focused on a Brain Health Service Line designed to support individuals across the lifespan.

The Pit Stop Model of Brain Care: A Lifelong Brain Health Service Line

BrainHealth Presents

Kim Gorgens, PhD, reframes our understanding of brain injury by connecting with often-overlooked populations. Reaching millions of viewers through inspiring TED talks on youth sports concussion and brain injuries in criminal justice, Dr. Gorgens has appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper, NPR and 20/20. A professor of psychology at University of Denver, she manages a large portfolio of brain injury related research and has lectured extensively around the world. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including U.S. News, Newsweek, The Economist, People and more. 

Brain Power: Mitigating Injury Risks and Empowering Personal Growth

In an age driven by AI, neuroscientist Adam Green, PhD, predicts an increasing demand for human creativity. Leader of a $2.5 million National Science Foundation project on creativity in STEM, he seeks to measure innovative thinking as a predictor of success, gauge how different aspects of creativity may work together, and map the seemingly miraculous process of creative ideation. Dr. Green directs the Lab for Relational Cognition at Georgetown University and is co-founder of The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity and incoming editor-in-chief at Creativity Research Journal. Dr. Green was a BrainHealth speaker in 2019 and is back by popular demand.

Unleashing Imagination: The Creative Brain and AI

An eye surgeon and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Mithu Storoni advocates for a new, hyperefficient way of working. The work that matters most in our technology-dominated workplace – generating brilliant ideas, solving complex problems, and learning – can’t be manufactured like outputs on an assembly line. Our brains function like a car’s engine, with multiple gears that put the brain in optimal mode for different mental challenges – to create, solve and learn.
