How long would it take? • What behaviours do you have in your life that you feel benefit you/your brain? How would you add these when designing the brain? • How do you implement positive habits and behaviours? How long would you have to sustain them to create your ideal brain?

Why do you think they aren’t beneficial for learning? How difficult will it be to cut down these habits and behaviours?
