New York City has designated January eighth “IBREA Brain Education Day” and presented a proclamation to renowned Korean-American cognitive research leader Ilchi Lee.

Lee is president of the International Brain Education Association (IBREA) and developer of Brain Education, a revolutionary method of cognitive training to enhance health, well-being, and mental ability.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday said that the city’s “IBREA Brain Education Day” recognizes Brain Education’s contribution to education, health and well-being of New York citizens.

The proclamation coincided with Lee’s seminar on "The Role of Brain Education in Global Mental Health," held at the United Nations.
