Smarter tomorrow : how 15 minutes of neurohacking a day can help you work better, think faster, and get more done / Elizabeth R. Ricker.

Ricker, Elizabeth R., (author.).

Summary:

If you had only 15 minutes a day, no prescriptions, and a tiny budget, what tools could you use to measurably upgrade your brain? In 'Smarter Tomorrow', MIT and Harvard-trained researcher Elizabeth Ricker shares her quest to answer that question. After distilling insights from hundreds of research studies and interviews, Ricker tests everything on herself. Some experiments fail hilariously, but others completely transform her cognition, resulting in better memory, increase in attention span, and boost in overall mood.

Elizabeth Ricker has given talks on cognitive enhancement and neurohacking across the US and overseas. She is a sought-after expert by Silicon Valley venture capital firms, technology startups, schools, and a Fortune 500 company. Ricker's work has been featured on public broadcast TV in Europe and in the March for Science’s book Science Not Silence. Ricker received her undergraduate degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT and her graduate degree in Mind, Brain, and Education from Harvard. In college, she worked in the neuroscience lab of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Susumu Tonegawa.
