So when you get exposed to these kinds of “whoosh” of their air, that’s got pounds of force behind it again and again and again like what you describe, it does produce damage. And after running this program for a number of weeks they scrapped it because the devices were not sensitive enough and they were all picking up too high levels of force over time. I think we mention there’s a study out… It was a government program looking at, “can we quantify this degree of back pressure from the explosions? Especially of shoulder mounted weapons? And they released some little lapel buttons essentially that measure concussive force. And that repeated hundreds of thousands of times over a 20 year career is going to build up in some sort of micro-damage.ĭr. So military warriors who do practice weaponry and then combat, is just the reverberatory effect of the repercussion of the bullet. And blows to the head or even the body where your head is taking a hit to the mat.Īnd then we talked about this earlier, they’re starting to look at just shooting. I mean no question all the fighting and the martial arts, controlled fighting you know. Mark: I think more than occasionally I took a hit.

And so your brain’s going to both react to that pattern itself, optimize.

Certainly you, Mark, have lived a very variable life in all of your roles and all of your physicality. So it’s not really a question of if you have damage, it’s like, is it getting in your way? And how much of it may be? A little bit of wear and tear is going to happen. And memory’s impaired by two thirds for a certain amount of time after you impact your head that way. Study out couple weeks ago showed that after a soccer heading drill, heading the ball 20 times in 20 minutes or something, you show big inflammatory markers. Recent studies out showing that high school kids who practice with the football team, but never play a game show damage at the end of the season. We’re discovering these days that even routine levels of impact can often produce damage. Hill: Yeah, I mean it’s pretty common that people show a little bit of damage here and there. What showed up was essentially the brain wave patterns and then some… not dysfunction, but some potential indicators of injury. And I continue to do…Īnd it’s… There’s a lot of contextual things that have happened. You see all the athletics, and then the Zen and the martial arts and then the Navy SEALs training and yoga and this and that. Mark: You know what’s interesting is I’ve been training… thinking that I’ve been training… well I have been training my brain in an intense way from a very early age. We took a peek under the covers so to speak, and did what’s called a Q EEG, a quantitative EEG. Mark: So awesome stuff and we’re going to have a great conversation today about the brain and I learned some interesting thing about my brain last week, didn’t I, Dr. Hill also spoke at our annual Unbeatable Mind retreat last year, or I think two years ago, right? And has his own podcasts called “ The Headfirst Podcast.” He’s also founder of the Peak brain Institute were I was last week. Courses in psychology and neuroscience and gerontology.

He’s got a PhD in, gosh you know… I’d have a blast studying this stuff… But cognitive neuroscience from UCLA.
