How the brain of sports geniuses works. The neurobiological basis of high achievements

Movement - whether you beat off a baseball ball flying at a speed of 150 km/h, or simply holding out your hand over a cup of coffee - it does not at all come true, but is the result of multi -stage calculations in the brain. In an effort to find the answer to the question, which actually determines the effectiveness of the human motor system and our amazing physical capabilities, the journalist and sports observer Zach Schonbra made interviews from specialists from different countries who study the connection between motor skills and processes occurring in the brain and summarized the results modern research. The result of his painstaking work was this book - the study of the neurobiology of movement (how the brain affects our motor activity and allows chosen people to achieve amazing results in sports), including the history of studying the issue of the great minds of the past (Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Descartes) Much attention was paid to the emergence of the world of the latest neurotechnologies, brightly represented by Decervo, which used neuroimaging methods to evaluate baseball players to increase their effectiveness and chances of victory in matches.
New theories and technologies in applying a variety of sports open to us how the system for managing movements in the brain of talented baseball players and other athletes, such as basketball player Stephen Curry, Tom Brady and tennis player Serena Williams, as well as virtuoso musicians. , dancers, climbing, race carbers and representatives of many other professions
