Insights that combine neuroscience and education to transform the way we learn and live

Neuroscience

Protect your brain from the chaos of overstimulation.

Since my last article on overstimulation , "The Nighttime Habit That's Sabotaging Your Learning," I thought it would be important to continue this discussion. So, first, I want to show you how the reality we live in is shaping our brains, increasingly diminishing our ability to focus and learn. But before continuing here, I suggest you read the other post first, as it contains concepts that I won't delve into here. For example: have you ever found yourself watching a series

Consistency: what neuroscience explains about maintaining habits over time.

Mind Maps: the tool that transformed the way I learn.

I always enjoyed studying, but I had never found a tool that truly organized my ideas in a way that my brain appreciated . That only changed when I started studying Pedagogy—and, in a simple activity, I was introduced to mind maps . I confess: at first, I thought it was just a pretty design. But when I started using it… everything made sense. Mind maps aren't just for studying. They also work for: plan a trip to prepare classes or lectures organizing a project structuring

Why Lavender Insights?

Lavender is known in neuroscience and psychology for its calming properties. It symbolizes tranquility, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

"Insight" comes from cognitive psychology. It represents that moment.
Clarity is when the brain connects information and understands something new. It is linked to learning and personal development.

Lavender Insights combines the serenity of lavender with clarity and discovery.
Insights. To talk about learning, neuroscience, and human behavior in a light, yet well-founded way.

The Story by
behind Lavender
INSIGHTS

My name is Isabel Silveira, and I'm a pedagogue and educational psychologist with a postgraduate degree in Neuroscience and Human Behavior. During three years of internships, I worked directly in the field of inclusion, an experience that deepened my interest in understanding how each person learns and develops.

In this space, I share reflections, studies, and experiences on learning, human behavior, and neuroscience applied to education. My goal is to offer content that inspires teachers, students, and those seeking self-knowledge to better understand how the mind works and how we can enhance our capabilities.

Lavander Insights was born from the desire to unite science and practice, bringing lightness and depth to those who want to explore the fascinating universe of the brain and behavior.

"Attention is the engine of learning. Neuroscience shows us that before we can be motivated to learn something, we must first direct our attention to it."
