Une étude innovante menée conjointement par l'Université de Western et le Science and Industry Museum de Manchester remet en perspective notre compréhension de l'impact des jeux vidéo. Intitulée "Brain and Body", cette recherche d'envergure a mobilisé plus de 2 000 participants à travers le monde, révélant des résultats particulièrement intéressants sur la relation entre les jeux vidéo, la cognition et la santé mentale.Le protocole de recherche a été minutieusement conçu, combinant des questionnaires sur les habitudes de vie avec des tests cognitifs en ligne. Ces derniers évaluaient diverses facettes de la cognition, notamment la mémoire, l'attention, le raisonnement et les aptitudes verbales.L'étude démontre de manière significative que les joueurs réguliers, consacrant plus de cinq heures hebdomadaires à un même type de jeu, possèdent des capacités cognitives remarquablement supérieures. En effet, leurs performances sont comparables à celles d'individus plus jeunes de près de 14 ans. Même les joueurs plus occasionnels, pratiquant moins de cinq heures par semaine avec une variété de jeux, montrent des avantages cognitifs notables, équivalant à un rajeunissement mental d'environ 5 ans. Cependant, le professeur Adrian Owen souligne un constat nuancé : si les jeux vidéo stimulent effectivement les capacités cognitives, ils n'ont pas d'influence significative, positive ou négative, sur la santé mentale. En parallèle, l'étude s'est intéressée à l'impact de l'activité physique, révélant que les personnes respectant les recommandations de l'OMS (150 minutes d'exercice hebdomadaire) présentaient un risque réduit de 12 % pour la dépression et de 9 % pour l'anxiété. Fait notable, les bénéfices de l'activité physique sur la santé mentale se sont avérés particulièrement marqués chez les individus présentant des symptômes légers ou inexistants, plutôt que chez ceux souffrant de troubles sévères. Cette découverte suggère l'importance de l'exercice physique dans la prévention des troubles mentaux. L'étude apporte ainsi un éclairage nouveau sur les effets distincts des jeux vidéo et de l'activité physique : les premiers excellant dans la stimulation cognitive, tandis que la seconde contribue davantage au bien-être mental. Ces résultats sont d'autant plus pertinents que la pratique des jeux vidéo s'étend au-delà des jeunes générations, avec une forte participation des joueurs de plus de 45 ans. Hébergé par Acast.

Dr. Adrian Owen, a renowned neuroscientist, discovered that individuals in a persistent coma could still communicate- and he went one step further and listened to what they wanted to say. He's also performed the largest sleep and cognition study in the world, and demonstrated why brain training apps are bunk, and what we can do to sleep better and improve our own conscious function.
Sleep restores, recharges, solves problems, processes emotions and memories leftover from the day, and quite literally, cleanses the brain. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Adrian Owen, former Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging.

As we learn more and more about the brain, researchers are developing new neuroscientific methods that can help diagnose patients with traumatic brain injury. For example, some of these methods might even be able to tell us that patients who otherwise appear unresponsive are actually still "alive inside". That's an amazing idea, but the story doesn't stop there. As such technology develops, it raises a number of ethical questions about how it works and how to use. In this paper, Andrew and his coauthors investigate the benefits, harms, and costs of using neuroimaging to detect human consciousness. Links and Resources * Andrew Peterson (https://philosophy.gmu.edu/people/apeter31) * The paper (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/bioe.12678) * Experiences of family of individuals in a locked in, minimally conscious state, or vegetative state with the health care system (https://bmcmedethics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12910-021-00674-8) * Ethical issues in neuroimaging after serious brain injury with Charles Weijer (https://www.charlesweijer.com/neuroimaging-project) * Practice guideline update recommendations summary: Disorders of consciousness (https://n.neurology.org/content/91/10/450) * Jason Karlawish (https://www.med.upenn.edu/apps/faculty/index.php/g275/p7909) * Adrian Owen (https://owenlab.uwo.ca/) Paper Quotes The practice guideline update is a milestone in the history of neurology. Recommendations to use investigational neuroimaging methods are but one aspect of the guideline, and there is a need for further normative analysis of its rich content. We encourage continued debate on these issues. Bringing clarity to the underlying ethics of caring for brain‐injured patients can assist clinicians and health care institutions as they incorporate the guideline in clinical practice. We think that investigational neuroimaging could facilitate access to opportunity for DoC patients. As the guideline highlights, investigational neuroimaging could function as a gatekeeper for continued rehabilitation, and it might also be used as a neural prosthetic, based on future technical improvements. Neuroimaging assessment could also inform clinical decisions that best reflect a patient's values, even if pursuing those values are inconsistent with standard notions of quality of life. Opportunity‐based frameworks for healthcare justice still require conceptual refinement, and further work needs to be done to thoroughly apply such a framework to the DoC context. However, we believe that this is a promising avenue of future research to explicate the justice claims that DoC patients (or other disabled populations) have to investigational neuroimaging and other novel therapies.

Cognition – specifically, cognitive decline – are at the heart of why The Snooze Button began in the first place. And it's front and center as we officially kick off Season Two of the show, with not only a continuation, but an evolution as well. Our Guests We're excited to welcome Dr. Adrian Owen, OBE back to the show – he was our first guest ever, and we talk not only about his massive study of sleep and cognition that led to conclusions that even the researchers weren't expecting, but get his “signoff” on our approach to the research into cognitive function and sleep that will be the cornerstone of Season Two. If you'd like to revisit the details of the study where Dr. Owen's team found “the sweet spot” for sleep for most people – and what happens to your cognitive function if you get too little or too much sleep compared to that sweet spot, you can find it here (don't worry, it'll open in a new tab). In addition, our friend Dr. Seema Khosla returns for a look at what COVID has done to our sleep, what it's done to sleep research, and what sleep does to COVID, too. Continuation and Evolution Season Two marks a slight shift in not only direction, but also presentation of our show. First, the direction of the show is shifting slightly toward research, in addition to continuing the learning. Season Two continues the conversations with sleep researchers and scientists from around the world, but now also includes Neil's research into his own sleep issues. We'll be talking regularly with celebrities, high achievers and newsmakers who have sleep challenges baked into their day-to-day experience. Each of them will offer Neil a sleep tip which he'll try out for a couple of weeks, testing his cognitive performance and sleep data along the way, and bringing you into the loop so you can see which things worked, and which things didn't. Second, there's the presentation of the show – we're now on YouTube! The YouTube version of the show is the exact same content as the full-length podcast, just with a video element added. We hope you like it. That, too, will evolve as we get better at playing with all the fun video tools. Linkapalooza https://www.cambridgebrainsciences.com/science/tasks (Cambridge Brain Sciences) is the website where you'll find the tests of cognition that Neil and Dr. Owen discussed. There's no charge to take the tests – try them for yourself, and let us know what you find out!

Tune in to The College Neuro Network's first episode with an international university! We chat with Dr. Adrian Owen, a Professor of Neuroscience at the Brain and Mind Institute at The University of Western. As an overview, Dr. Owen's research combines neuroimaging (MRI and EEG) with neuropsychological studies in brain-injured patients and healthy participants. His lab seeks to understand the effects of brain injury in order to improve diagnosis and early detection and to find possible new treatments. In addition, he works to decode physiological signals of the brain that support cognition and behavior across different states of consciousness. The College Neuro Network seeks to gain insight into the neuroscience and psychology departments and opportunities at the most prestigious universities by talking with both undergraduate students as well as professors. In today's episode, learn about neuroscience at Western directly from a Western professor! Episode Hosts: Tima Al Shammaa and Lina Chihoub. Audio Editor: Paige Williams

On this episode of Going Underground, we firstly speak to Prof. Adrian Owen, world-renowned neuroscientist and CEO of Cambridge Brain Sciences. He discusses the findings of studies on recovered coronavirus patients which show the development of neurological problems such as worsened concentration ability and damage to senses such as smell. We ask how this could affect employment and the global economy, how medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests caused by Covid-19 could lead to the development of neurological problems, how similar viruses in the past such as SARS-2 have caused the same issues, whether the neurological complications are long-term or short-term, and more! Finally, we speak to former Hong Kong legislator and founder of Demosisto, Nathan Law, about the new Hong Kong National Security Law, implemented by Beijing. He discusses why he must conduct the interview with Afshin Rattansi from an undisclosed location, why he believes the national security law destroys Hong Kong’s freedom and autonomy, allegations of organizations in the Hong Kong protest movement being tied to Western intelligence agencies such as the CIA, the role of the US-backed National Endowment for Democracy in the Hong Kong protests, Beijing using the narrative of foreign interference to fool its own citizens, how the law arguably curbs freedom of speech and assembly, China’s policies in Xinjiang regarding Uyghur Muslims, and more!
Neuroscientist Adrian Owen has spent much of his career exploring what he calls ‘the grey zone’, a realm of consciousness inhabited by people with severe brain injuries, who are aware yet unable to respond to those around them. It's this inability to respond which has led doctors to conclude that they are unaware. In the late 1990's, Adrian started to question the assumption that they lacked awareness and a chance discovery set him on a novel path of enquiry - could some of these patients be conscious or aware even though they don’t appear to be? His research has revealed that some are, and he’s pioneered techniques to help them to communicate with the outside world. This emerging field of science has implications, not only for patients but, for philosophy and the law. A British scientist, Adrian now runs a research programme at the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University in Canada, dedicated to reaching people in this ‘grey zone’.

Author and neuroscientist Professor Adrian Owen joins the Pager Podcast to discuss his work imaging the brain for signs of consciousness in patients with brain injuries. In this episode we discuss the causes of disorders of consciousness, how we can communicate with some patients thought to be unconscious and what can be done with the information gained from neuroimaging and communication with such patients. We discuss why we should be cautious about making judgements on quality of life of individuals following brain damage, the chances of recovery from brain damage and what recovery can realistically be expected to mean, along with where the future of care for patients with brain damage might lie.

Dr. Adrian Owen has been named a member of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his contributions to neuroscience.Here, in an episode that is sadly fraught with technical issues (sorry, podcasting purists), he talks with Neil about a laundry list of topics about what's going wrong north of your neck when you're not getting enough sleep.
Referred to by Neil as a "neuroscience rock star" - not because of his role as the lead singer / lead guitarist of an all-scientist rock band, but because this year, he was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his contributions to science - Dr. Adrian Owen brings perspective and wisdom gleaned from a career spent looking at brains. Neil and Dr. Owen cover a wide range of topics here, including: The Terri Schiavo case (and "persistent vegetative states") The relationship between neuroplasticity, Dave Matthews and the TV show House The impact of getting too little sleep on cognition The impact of getting too much sleep on cognition What IS cognition, anyway? (SPOILER ALERT: It's not just about Alzheimer's and memory. You depend on your cognition hundreds, even thousands of times a day.) A test you can take - right now - that's basically a breathalyzer for your cognitive function.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kevin Nelson who's been studying near death experiences for years. Dr. Nelson deconstructs the once elusive and ever mysterious near death experience, but can science really have an explanation for its mechanistic underpinnings? In the second half of the episode, Dr. Adrian Owen talks about the project that changed it all - communicating with seemingly unconscious patients (patients that have been in a persistent vegetative state for years and years) through brain imaging.
Dr. Adrian Owen shares with us on his expertise in cognitive testing. Learn how cognitive testing has been used historically and where modern cognitive testing belongs within the functional neurology paradigm of care.
As an obese 175kg man, Adrian Owen was so embarrassed by his body that he refused to look at his reflection and lived in relative isolation. Today, he has transformed himself both physically and mentally. And now, he want’s to share the KETO secret with you! Interested in finding out a bit more about Adrian and his KETO12 Week Program?

Adrian Owen was a big man, like a BIG man. After working in the design world for some years, (alongside Raj as it happens) he noticed that he was gaining weight at an exponential rate which only came to a stop when he was told by his doctor that he probably would be dead within a year.That sort of moment causes changes.Learn from Adrian as he talks about how he changed his life, his families lives, and is now helping others change their lives. We particularly love his “how to start the day” routine, something everyone in the tech world should take note of.- https://www.adrianowen.me/- https://www.facebook.com/dream.dedicate.do- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCli1WPmUIODrADj5ZIxpmEA/- https://www.instagram.com/adrianowen.me/------------------------------------------------------New Zealand tech, media, & startup podcast hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, and others.

Welcome to our first podcast of 2018. One of the last events we hosted in 2017 was an evening with the neuroscientist Adrian Owen, whose research over the past decades has been dedicated to patients diagnosed as Permanent Vegetative State. His hugely moving and informative memoir Into the Grey Zone invites us to ask the most crucial questions about what it means to be conscious, but it also inspired us to think about how other authors have tackled ideas about - consciousness, from the realm of artificial intelligence to a small child's eerie reality. Hosted by Jessica Johannesson. Music: 'Declaration' by The Bookshop Band. Now take a look at our 'What it's Like to Be' reading list

Bruce Handy talks about “Wild Things,” and Adrian Owen discusses “Into the Gray Zone.”
Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Vegetative state is commonly defined as "wakefulness with awareness." Patients with a vegetative state diagnosis will show only reflex behavior, are not able to follow commands and are unable to communicate. This barrier in the inability for patients to communicate can make it difficult for doctors to measure their level of consciousness. In fact, some patients who are believed to be in a completely vegetative state may be more aware of what's going on than people realize. Host Brian McDonough joins Dr. Adrian Owen, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University. They talk about how the use of MRI technology is aiding doctors in measuring the level of consciousness in patients under vegetative states.

Past, present, and future of the European Union with Wade Jacoby of BYU and Gregory Jackson of UVU. We go "Into the Grey Zone" as neuroscientist Adrian Owen communicates with people in a vegetative state. And Jane Joseph of the Medical University of South Carolina scans the brain of free solo climber Alex Honnold to see if he feels any fear.
What if we are on this side and suddenly we find ourselves or a loved incapacitated from brain injury. that is a what has been termed a vegetative state. That universal energy is still there. But has that person left us? What are the perimeters for knowing to let that person go or to continue to communicate as if nothing has happened. The situation is not cannot be defined as black or white, yes or no, positive nor negative. It is somewhere in between. We enter what our guest tonight neuroscientist Adrian Owen has titled his new book "Into The Gray Zone: A Neuroscientist Explores the Border Between Life and Death"

Adrian Owen explores the gray matter inside those who can't communicate
Between life and death, the gray zone, we've all heard the stories, near death experiences, comatose patients come back to life. On this episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show we explore that mysterious place between life and death with two people who are experts on the subject, world renowned neuroscientist Dr. Adrian Owen the author of a riveting new book INTO THE GRAY ZONE: A NEUROSCIENTIST EXPLORES THE BORDER BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH and Dr. Eban Alexander renowned academic neurosurgeon and author of PROOF OF HEAVEN, A NEUROSURGEON'S JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE.In one of the most profound books of the year thus far, INTO THE GRAY ZONE, Dr. Adrian Owen takes his readers on a vivid, emotional, and thought-provoking journey in which he explores the little understood boundary between life and death. No cold scientific treatise this. INTO THE GRAY ZONE is a dazzling glimpse at a new frontier in our scientific understanding of the brain and the newly-discovered zones in the twilight region between full consciousness and brain death. His true-life characters and their tales of conscious or barely-conscious lives living on the border of life and death – and the heartbroken families having to make decisions about their care is at once fascinating, titillating and provocative. When Dr. Owen pushes forward the boundaries of science, he shockingly discovers that a sizeable number of patients previously thought to be vegetative or non-responsive – often victims of traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's – are actually vibrantly alive, trapped in the gray zone.Dr. Eban Alexander is a renowned academic neurosurgeon who has spent 54 years honing his scientific worldview. Having practiced fifteen years at the Brigham & Women's and the Children's Hospitals and Harvard Medical School in Boston, he thought he knew how the brain and mind worked. And then the doctor became the patient when Dr. Alexander's own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. And just as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Dr. Alexander's eyes popped open. He had come back to life, but only after he had experienced a transcendental Near-Death Experience … an NDE. He told his story in the controversial New York Times bestseller PROOF OF HEAVEN, A NEUROSURGEON'S JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE, which remained a bestseller for over sixty seven weeks, Alexander asserting his belief that there is an afterlife, and that consciousness is independent of the brain.Between life and death, consciousness, life after death, medicine, the brain, ethics, religion, philosophy, science -- tune in to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

What if consciousness isn’t as cut-and-dry as we imagined? That’s the question Dr. Adrian Owen and his colleagues at Western University’s Brain and Mind Institute have been asking for the past several years. For Owen, a cognitive neuroscientist from Gravesend, England — and now the author of Into the Gray Zone, an exploration into his … Continue reading Adrian Owen: “Her brain lit up like a Christmas tree” →
We strive for the best mental performance but how do you know if your routines (sleep patterns, coffee habits, etc.) are helping or hurting? The Quantified Mind is a web-based project that allows you to quickly check your cognitive function in a few minutes. In previous episodes, we have discussed and identified ways to improve our mental performance. Most recently, we explored Brain Training with Adrian Owen in episode 27.
