    Think ya'll can take the direct audio feed from these talks and put them in your videos? the normal Ted Talks does it and it's your own event so i'd imaging you'd have access to your own audio feed.

    It became clear early in Dr. Staci's talk that she didn't have a good grasp on the concept of biological plasticity when she tried to explain the concept by comparing the brain to plastic, which resists expansion, contaction, and change. It wasn't until 12:55 when she gave the slightest hint that she might understand plasticity. Her basketball analogy was simply wrong because those who practice develop muscle memory and improve with time, whereas those who fail to practice and simply wish to succeed develop frustration when their lack of effort impedes their progress. Her chiropractic credentials have not prepared her with enough detail to speak as a technical expert on this subject, despite her enthusiasm and belief she can. It takes a lot more than believing you're an expert to be an expert, just like it takes more than belief you can climb a mountain to actually climb the mountain.

    This stuff kind if works but not long term. Sorry, if you have chronic pain, unless you are a fortunate outlier, you’re screwed (like me). I dive into this with every fiber of being a year ago, convinced it was the answer. 10 years of chronic neck and back pain washed away in mere minutes while I watched a certain video. I believed. With every ounce. I did it all. Pain is back now in full and possibly worse. No structural damage to my body. Sorry, this stuff doesn’t work unless you are a lucky outlier.
  • how neuroplasticity do with chiropractic core concepts- sublaxation and adjustment? misleading!!
  • @PurpleShame
    this talk probably has the least to do with neuroplasticity than anything i've ever seen about neuroplasticity. nice message though.

    This talk should be titled: neuroplasticity misexplained. Or how to hijack trendy phrases to become a click-bait. If you are looking for a cliche uninspiring talk with absolutely no relevance to the the topic, no insight and filled with a bunch of not so original or interesting anecdotes told on the background of stock animations of neurons and brains, you've come to the right place.

    This talk is very outdated. There’s been a lot that’s been discovered about neuroplasticity compared to 6 years ago!
