Neurotraining

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

this article is a disguised advertisement, created by an editor, Amybrann (talk · contribs), who appears to have a strong COI, since Amy Brann is cited in the first sentence as the inventor of the concept. A survey of the literature indicates that the term "neurotraining" has in fact been used, but not in a way that relates to the content of this article -- it has been used exclusively in the context of rehabilitation for brain injury. None of the cited sources properly supports the content of this article, as far as I can see. It is possible that a legitimate article could be created about the application of neuroscience research to personnel training, but it is doubtful that any of the content of the current article would be useful for that purpose.

Delete. Unambiguous advertising: Neurotraining provides a base through which people can become more efficient, effective and productive in various areas of their professional life. It is based on learning to work both optimally with oneself and with others. Neurotraining provides ROI based on the premise that an effective team is always worth more than the sum of its parts. The article goes on in this vein while never really getting to the point where it explains what "neurotraining" is, or how it differs non-trivially from other methods. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:46, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
