How can we make better use of our brains?
This question has occupied Jan-Willem van den Brandhof for over 20 years, and led him to set up BrainStudio in 1992. Fascinated by the brain in general, he is specifically intrigued by how people work and the demands placed upon them to keep abreast of mass information and developments.
He realized early that people must learn to keep up to survive in the information age. People possess all kinds of competences and talents, he believes, yet often fail to use them. “It’s a shame. I want to teach people to use their brains better.”
Van den Brandhof has developed a multi-guru system based on techniques learnt from experts all over the world as well as his own experiences.
His first training course took place in 1989; its theme, Gebruik je hersens, is also the title of his first book, published in 1998 (now also available in English as The business brain book). His other books include Leer als een speer (‘Learn like a rocket’) and Lees (‘Read’).
In Maastricht in 2000, BrainStudio was the first organization in the Netherlands to open a brain training centre. A franchise organization was established in 2005 to meet the increasing demand for brain training courses and secure continuity for the concept.
Together with a professional team of brain trainers, it is Van den Brandhof’s goal to help people make better use of their capacities through brain-friendly fast-learning techniques – the result being that they are better able to survive in the information era, and create more peace of mind.
