Professor Selena Bartlett, Neuroscientist, Brain Health is Everyone's Business

Welcome to "Self-Care in the Age of Neuroscience and AI," a thought-provoking podcast episode that delves into the innovative ways neuroscience and artificial intelligence are transforming how we approach self-care. Join us as we explore insights and perspectives from students and faculty of the QUT CSB111 class, where we examine the intersection of cutting-edge science and personal well-being.

In our fast-paced world, self-care is no longer just about traditional practices like meditation or exercise. This podcast episode explores how the latest advancements in neuroscience and AI are revolutionizing our understanding and practice of self-care.

1. The Neuroscience of Self-Care:
We'll discuss how neuroscience provides new insights into the brain's role in self-care. How does understanding neural pathways and brain plasticity help us develop more effective self-care routines? From managing stress to enhancing mental health, we'll explore how knowledge of the brain can lead to better self-care practices.

2. AI-Powered Personalization:
Artificial intelligence is enabling a new level of personalized self-care. We'll examine how AI can analyse individual data to recommend tailored self-care strategies. Imagine apps that track your mood, sleep patterns, and physical activity, then suggest specific actions to enhance your well-being based on this data. We'll explore the potential and the challenges of such AI-driven solutions.

3. Ethical and Privacy Concerns:
With the rise of AI in self-care, ethical and privacy issues are paramount. How do we ensure that personal data used by AI is protected? What are the ethical considerations in allowing machines to make recommendations for our mental and physical health? We'll delve into these critical questions with insights from experts in the field.

4. Student and Faculty Perspectives:
Students and faculty from the QUT CSB111 class bring a unique perspective to the discussion. We'll hear about their experiences and thoughts on integrating neuroscience and AI in self-care. What new tools and techniques are being developed in the academic world? How are they applying these innovations in their own lives?

5. Future Trends and Innovations:
What does the future hold for self-care in the age of neuroscience and AI? We'll explore emerging trends and potential breakthroughs that could redefine how we take care of ourselves. The possibilities are exciting and vast, from neurofeedback devices to AI-driven mental health support.

Join us as we navigate the fascinating intersection of cutting-edge science and personal well-being. "Self-Care in the Age of Neuroscience and AI" promises to be a rich source of knowledge and inspiration for anyone interested in the future of self-care. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a science lover, or simply looking to enhance your self-care routine, this podcast offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you thrive in the modern world.
