Scientists Discover a New Way to Improve Memory

After discovering the connection between running and memory enhancement, researchers from around the world rushed to study the human brain and how memory works. The first to speak out were the British. Transcranial electrical stimulation of memory during sleep, according to English scientists, can improve memorization. These conclusions were reached by researchers at the University of York after scientific experiments. The results were published by the scientists on March 9, 2018, in the journal Current Biology.

Research was conducted around sleep spindles — explosive brain oscillations that demonstrated a link between information retention and sleep. Volunteers in the experiments were told adjectives and related associations. While the person was dozing, researchers pronounced adjectives and, using EEG, recorded data on brain activity.

It was found that sleep spindles are directly linked to memorizing the received information. Researchers hope that this discovery will help people in their studies. After all, the problem of the 21st century is the poor assimilation of information in adult and children’s education. The only thing left is to develop a method of presenting the subject.
