    Here's a thought. If you're interviewing someone, don't interrupt that person every five seconds just to show them that you know things too.

      Agreed, it was not very professionnal. Not something I recall seeing her do.

      She really is just a LOUSY interviewer! I don't think it is nervousness. I think it is lack of skill. So why on earth is she on a major news station?! In Alan Alda's autobiography he talks about being the host of Scientific American Frontiers. When he first started, he would do all sorts of reading up on the scientist and research but then realized he was cornering the scientist with questions he asked. He then started going in with no knowledge and asking questions from that point which would allow the scientist to talk. She needs to read Alan Alda's book!!

      I was thinking it might have been her actual excitement for people with these issues. She's usually very good.

    This gentleman has given stroke survivors (this one at least) allot of great info. & I feel extremely fortunate for how things have gone in my case (though must admit holding on by my fingertips for some periods; a damaged brain can make you crazy). Read all of Dr. Doidge's books and have seen much footage (along w using the software mentioned & others & Taoist Tai Chi). Thank you Dr. Doidge!

    She could have said in the end instead "It's been a pleasure interrupting you!" A brilliant guest spoiled by an extremely annoying interviewer, how much more we could have gathered from this had he been able to finish his various highly interesting points.

      I agree. Constant interruptions. It was driving me crazy.

      There's a fashion now that the interviewer somehow becomes as much a subject of the interview as the interviewee themselves.
      To mis-quote The King
      "A little less conversation
      A little more interview, please"
      The interviewer seemed overly keen to prove that she'd read the book assignment.

    Those interruptions are sooooo annoying! I wanted to over it again but this lady made it unbearable.I would like to know Dr.Doidge thought on her brain? He should've offer to study her and CHANGE her way of doing interviews.

    Crazy I've just come across this video watching another video, and he mentioned Dr Norman I have had this experience recently. I have arthritis In my joints and naturally blocked them out on my own. Amazing how In control your mind can be.

    I have seen and worked with some of these theories. Amazing improvement in people with Parkinson's and stroke. Was introduced to some of the ideas working with children who were slow in getting their language going. This was already in the late 70's in Sweden

      Interesting finding! Remembering that developing countries spend billions of dollars try to combat diseases that can be cured by using the mind 😂 the money can be used for other useful resources like infrastructure and food 😎

    I'm reading his latest book right now. It's fascinating. I'm glad I saw this interview. He is as good in front of the camera as he is in writing. I'm very excited about his discoveries and excited to see what more will come of his research. At one point the interviewer asks him "why aren't all doctors recommending this treatment." It seemed like an antagonistic question to me, but I wish he would've made the point that medical changes always come slowly. Ignaz Semmelweiss discovered that failure to wash hands between patients led to the transmission of puerperal fever in 1847. It took more than 20 years for that concept to catch on and in fact many clinicians still don't properly wash their hands and become very defensive if you ask them to. Change is always difficult and just because someone, or a group of someones, isn't following the latest research it doesn't mean the research is bad. In fact Dr. Doidge is very gracious in the book about the resistance coming from the neuroscience establishment.

    I think this should just be a daily exercise to help all of us especially with the poor foods and over exposure to things that we have. The medical community needs to get it together, I am tired of those that can not seem to think out of institutions and books. It is hard but they are out there.

    Very interesting but CHRIST, let the expert explain!!! Extremely irritating for the interviewer to interrupt on a regular basis with a kindergarten rephrasing of what is being said. Reframing is fine but let the man finish a sentence first!

    Mind is a distributed field of consciousness and brain is picking up vibrations as a receiver and transmitter of consciousness through six senses (knowing mind is the sixth sense in Buddhism). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind.

  • @manoftheworld1000
    @manoftheworld1000 Před 8 lety +1

    Part of the skepticism towards neuroplasticity has on the one hand to do with the reasons Norman Doidge describes in the interview. Another reason, I guess, has to do with the fact that there's so much *bunk* out there, all of it being sold under the label of "Neuro"!

    • @waterkingdavid
      @waterkingdavid Před 8 lety

      Agreed. But also because mainstream scientists are still operating under the old paradigm that the brain generates the mind.
