Science-Based Mental Training Visualization for Improved Learning Huberman Lab Podcast

In this episode I explore the science of mental visualization and its application for learning motor and cognitive skills I discuss neuroplasticity-based skill development and the roles of focus sleep movement restriction and agitation I then present five key principles of mental visualization to enhance learning speed accuracy and consistency I also provide examples of specific protocols including repetitions rest periods and session frequency and how to adapt these methods for injuries or breaks from traditional training Throughout I reference the scientific studies supporting these concepts This episode should allow anyone to learn or teach more effectively through the use of mental visualization and training HubermanLab Science Neuroscience Thank you to our sponsors AG1 Athletic Greens a https 3A 2F 2Fathleticgreens com 2Fhuberman a LMNT a https 3A 2F 2Fdrinklmnt com 2Fhuberman a Maui Nui a https 3A 2F 2Fmauinuivenison com 2Fhuberman a Eight Sleep a https 3A 2F 2Feightsleep com 2Fhuberman a InsideTracker a https 3A 2F 2Finsidetracker com 2Fhuberman a Momentous a https 3A 2F 2Fwww livemomentous com 2Fhuberman a Social Website Instagram a https 3A 2F 2Fwww instagram com 2Fhubermanlab a Twitter a https 3A 2F 2Ftwitter com 2Fhubermanlab a Facebook a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2Fhubermanlab a LinkedIn a https 3A 2F 2Fwww linkedin com 2Fin 2Fandrew-huberman a Website a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a Newsletter a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a neural-network Articles Statistics of Mental Imagery a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F3H8NR78 a Best practice for motor imagery a systematic literature review on motor imagery training elements in five different disciplines a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F3UY0RT3 a Sleep and the Time Course of Motor Skill Learning a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F41tM9We a Mental practice modulates functional connectivity between the cerebellum and the primary motor cortex a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F3H9kh1H a Motor Imagery Combined With Physical Training Improves Response Inhibition in the Stop Signal Task a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F3oBlmZJ a What is the relationship between Aphantasia Synaesthesia and Autism a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F3V2Tslj a Chapter 15 -
