- Adam Gazzaley obtained an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, completed clinical residency in Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, and postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at UC Berkeley. He is the founding director of the Neuroscience Imaging Center and an Associate Professor in Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry at UC San Francisco. He studies neural mechanisms of perception, attention and memory, with emphasis on the impact of distraction and multitasking on these abilities. His research utilizes a combination of human neurophysiological tools, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and has expanded our understanding of alterations in the aging brain that lead to cognitive decline. His most recent studies explore how we may enhance our cognitive abilities, and/or prevent them from declining in various neuropsychiatric conditions, via engagement with custom designed video games.
Dr. Gazzaley has authored over 70 scientific articles, delivered over 250 invited presentations around the world, and his research and perspectives have been profiled in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME, Discover, Wired, PBS, NPR, CNN and NBC Nightly News. Recently, he wrote and hosted the nationally televised, PBS--‐sponsored special “The Distracted Mind with Dr. Adam Gazzaley”. Awards and honors for his research include The Pfizer/AFAR Innovations in Aging Award, the Ellison Foundation New Scholar Award in Aging, and the Harold Brenner Pepinsky Early Career Award in Neurobehavioral Science.

God bless you
Thank you for telling us.
beautiful person
Thank you man!
Glad I went to comments first lol
Regrettably, when tests were shown on screen, the videos showed only the speaker, so I couldn’t follow fully what “ experiments” and just wasted my time trying to figure out what you were talking
The most important part are the slides and we see very little of them. Too much focus only on the speaker. We want to hear him and see the slides.
I could easily follow what he said without seeing the slides, and I'm not special.
Excellent lecture. Thanks for sharing. Attention is such a fundamental experience, but still lot to be explored scientifically. Hope this will inspire the young scientists to get into this field.
Just a note:
For some reasons, most video recorders miss the point that we need to pay attention to the slides more than the presenter during the lecture.
Many slides are not shared or are shown briefly, thus it is hard to relate the context.
It might be that they are not showing all the slides intentionally.
I'm wondering about this comment....and whether they don't show the content because it is copywrighted? I've seen other videos with printed text over the video saying that is the reason they weren't showing it. 🙁
Yes, very frustrating to not show the slides!
This is a video about retardation, the video demonstrates how such person would fixate on showing the person talking (as if we are an audience of lip readers) without showing the images on the screen which the speaker is referring to. NEVER EVER give the video job to someone who volunteers to do it, always find an averagely intelligent person and order them to do the video job. Universities are notoriously incompetent, they are staffed by people who love the sound of their own voice, people who love having a captive audience, but they are useless at all the practical tasks in life.
I appreciate to see my fellow countryman here . I support your views.
Gah! I have to stop watching this because I'm actually doing something else! Boy, this is going to be a tough adjustment but seems worth it.
I will add this - a few years ago I stopped listening to music while I work. That greatly improved my quality of output and I felt less drained at the end of the day. This lecture puts a lot of sense to why that happened. Thanks!
Excellant lecture on Neuro Cybernetics.
Watched all of it
Nice man, your medal should be arriving soon
It is good to maintain focus on our desires and be ready to understand each other and care for each other with focus. Focus can maintain a person alive, first of all we could focus on our own-selves and be well, breathing. Then we begin to care for the world, we care for the smallest forms of life, for the rocks and for the stars, it is care.
This is such a super presentation! Thank you doctor and the team that brought this amazing information to the world! I’m learning so much!
Just an incredible talk!! Incredible!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm always so distracted that I couldn't concentrate on everthing that's said
.thanks!.
If distractions occur let’s say getting notifications/messages/music playing in the background and that causes a issue with retention does that mean all music, even classical music without words effects our retention of what we are trying to learn/focus on? It is also impossible not to be distracted when so many different subjects are required to be retained in “x” amount of time.
Why not show us (here on RUclips) the faces to remember? The videographer only showed the presenter. That’s really dumb.
Agreed. I appreciate the free lectures but the cameraman made a very dumb and detrimental choice there.
I'm there...I'm annoyed by that too...

This guy is a lightweight compared to Stanford's professor Robert Sapolsky.
The cocktail efect. We, moms, live at a permanent cocktail party (the wrong cocktail party) when we have little children
Some needs to use some software on the sound. I have the volume turned up to max and am having a hard time hearing the lecture. thanks
How about anxiety and what it does to attention and memory?
Left the couch 7 seconds ago, walk to the kitchen with 1 item in mind and find yourself standing in front of the refrigerator and have no clue why your there. . . . .
. . Sativa moment. 😁😂🤣
that's totally true. cannabis affects short term memory
video quality 360! what!

where can I find the east meets wests game?
I don't like how the term "limitation" has received a negative connotation. Not that I am suggesting this has happened here, but knowing our limitations should make us feel aware of our capacity and fine with that, rather than trying to want to break the limits and overperfrom ,which obviously many of us can do, but comes with nasty side effects. It's ok to know what human's capabilities are but it's equally ok to be human in the first place. What's with the obsession of the over productivity cult? How's not that a mental illness?
Yes this overperformance culture can lead to people being unbalanced in providing closeness and play to their people.
Then it is a madness.
je croix.
Like your style Akis. We must over produce so that we may over consume. You sound more rational than most of us. With empathy, Pete.
Is distracted and sidetracked the same thing?
They're a bit different. Side-tracked usually means some other function has interrupted and taken your attention from a primary task in order to do that, wheras distracted doesn't necessarily mean you are now attending to another function, you could simply be looking at something :)
Seems to remind me of Sherlock Holmes, who didn’t want to bother with information that wasn’t relevant to whatever he needed to know for his cases. Lol
I know this is 7 years old and nothingn can be done to the video retroactively, but it is infuriating that the camera cuts away from the slides at the most important parts of the talk and I can't help but leave a comment
Here’s some advice for the videographer: when the speaker turns and then (laser)points to the screen it is for something he wishes the audience to look at. That seems elementary to me.
Apparently not to you as there are multiple instances when you should have shown the screen and did not. You are not alone however, I have seen similar behavior on many occasions during lectures and just can’t understand what could be running through your mind as he references something on the screen and you just blindly keep the camera focused on the speaker. Did you not receive any any instructions or did the event organizers just assume you would have the brains to show what was obviously being pointed out?
Maybe you should’ve just went to the lecture then. That’s what happens when you watch a free bootlegged lecture on RUclips!
Right, the videographer was clearly not paying attention and missing the whole point of this video discussion. Clearly this lecture was given at a fine University and intended for replay and to be viewed by students and others that may not have been present as well otherwise they wouldn't have filmed it at all in the first place.

Nahh doesnt explain supernatural occurances in time space ol buddy
Great interference

7 long boring minutes of a boring introduction, ...
Academics love the sound of their own voice so they get a job which gives them a captive audience.
