THE NEUROSCIENCE OF MISINFORMATION: How the Brain Processes Fake News
🧠 The Neuroscience of Misinformation
We live in an age where truth competes with speed.
Information arrives before verification, and the brain — wired to react faster than it reflects — becomes vulnerable to what feels true, not necessarily to what is true.
Misinformation doesn’t spread because people are naive.
It spreads because the human brain is efficient.

BRAIN AND INVENTED REALITY: How the Brain Distinguishes the Real from the Artificial (or not)
Brain and Invented Reality
We live in the era of overlapping realities.
Between what is seen, what is edited, and what is invented, the human brain is being forced to do something it was never designed for: to distinguish the real from the artificial.
After all, the brain wasn’t born for deepfakes, AI filters, or mixed realities.
Neuroscience is showing that separating the false from the convincing isn’t easy.
And that, in practice, the mind doesn’t seek truth — it seek

THE IMMERSIVE BRAIN: What Neuroscience reveals about Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality Experiences
🧠 The Immersive Brain
We now live in an era where reality no longer ends at what we can touch.
Amid screens, sensors and headsets, the human brain has learned to navigate hybrid worlds — spaces where the physical and digital coexist.
Neuroscience has shown that within Virtual Reality (VR) or Mixed Reality (XR), the brain believes the illusion. Pupils dilate, muscles react, the heart races — even when the threat is nothing but a string of pixels.

AI TOOLS FOR THE BRAIN: How Smart Apps and Techniques Can Enhance Performance and Cognition
🧠 Smart apps and Techniques that enhance Performance and Cognition
We live in the era of augmented intelligence — a time when the brain and machines are starting to work together. But make no mistake: AI doesn’t replace the brain — it challenges it to evolve.
If the brain is the engine, AI is the turbo. Together, they form a continuous learning system that can improve focus, creativity, memory, and decision-making.

PSYCHEDELICS IN EVERYDAY LIFE: Strategies for Mental Well-Being
🧠Psychedelics in Everyday Life
Psychedelic comes from the Greek psyche (mind) and deloun (to manifest): “that which reveals the mind.”
And perhaps this is what neuroscience is teaching us — not that we need substances to expand consciousness, but that the brain itself has natural pathways to access states of expanded perception, connection, and well-being.
