UDL: The Signs in Sajda (Session 3)

Neuroscience has established that--

“If you keep placing your awareness in the same place, you?are firing and wiring the same networks of neurons. And as a result, you’ll build stronger brain maps in that area.

In a Harvard study, research subjects who’d never before played the piano mentally practiced a simple, five-finger piano exercise for two hours a day for five days—and made the same brain changes as the subjects who physically practiced the same activities, but without ever lifting a finger. The region of their brains that controls finger movements increased dramatically, allowing their brains to look as though the experience they’d imagined had actually happened. They installed the neurological hardware (circuits) and software (programs), thereby creating new brain maps by thought alone.”
