We are on the cusp of a new scientific revolution in understanding how the brain works. Working memory, our ability to remember and manipulate information, is at the centre of this revolution. Brain training is a growing and exciting new area in scientific research. In particular, there is a lot of evidence of our brain's plasticity: that it can actually change shrink or grow depending on what we do. Discover how the brain responds to training and the best brain training tools for adults and children. See how by training your brain, you will be able to improve your prospects in classroom and in the workplace. With Dr Tracy Alloway, University of Stirling. Part of Manchester Science Festival.
