Our research shows that the brain can mimic evolution and develop specialization at amazingly great speeds and timescales. This can be done through a combination of non-invasive technology and brain training. We are using this unique approach to examine age-old basic but mysterious scientific questions about the brain and human civilization, such as: What has a greater impact on us - nature or nurture? Is our brain more elastic or more stable over the course of the lifespan, and can we reverse time and make an older brain more plastic/younger? Which of our senses correspond to which daily tasks, and how are these tasks represented in maps and areas in the brain?
