DEMYSTIFYING CREATIVITY: What Neuroscience Can Teach Us
🎨 Breaking the Myth: Creativity Is Not a Gift, It's a Skill
For years, we believed that creativity was reserved for artists, geniuses and "minds out of the ordinary". The great turnaround that neuroscience brings us is simple and powerful: we are all born with a brain structured to create. Creativity is not a biological exception — it is a natural function. The real differential appears in the way this skill is trained, encouraged and applied throughout life.

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.

PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY: What Brains Science Reveals About Altering Substances
Psychedelic Therapy: Science in Control 🧠 Psychedelic Therapy The topic of psychedelics is caught between fascination and taboo — but brain science may be rewriting its story. Today, it returns to the centre of discussions — now scientific — no longer as a symbol of counterculture, but as a legitimate field of modern neuroscience . From psilocybin to LSD, from MDMA to DMT, substances once viewed with suspicion are now being studied in clinical contexts, with promising resu

NEUROSCIENCE OF SELF-AWARENESS: How to Acess the Deep Layers of the Mind
🧠 Neuroscience of Self-Knowledge
We live in an era in which self-knowledge has almost become a modern ritual — from psychedelic therapies to silent retreats, from meditation to long conversations in search of meaning.
But, in the end, what are we really looking for?
Neuroscience shows that the human brain already possesses natural mechanisms of consciousness expansion, and that exploring one’s own mind does not require escaping it — but rather turning inward with curiosit

GENERATIONS AND THE BRAIN: How We Think Differently
We live in a world where generations coexist side by side — from Baby Boomers to Millennials, from Generation Z to Alpha. Each one brings with it different ways of thinking, learning, and relating to the world. But does each generation’s brain really work differently?
The answer lies in neuroscience: the human brain is highly plastic, meaning it shapes itself according to the experiences and stimuli it receives.
