The students' various sleep stages were monitored using an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine. When the students entered a period of light sleep, Born's team started to apply a gentle current in one-second-long pulses, every second, for about 30 minutes. The EEG readings revealed that this current had put students into a deeper state of sleep. The next morning, the students performed about 8% better on the word memory test than when they underwent the same type of memory experiment without brain stimulation. ------------------------- I am eagerly awaiting stuff like this that can boost the brains abilities. I have always been told that we only use ~10% of our brains ability and really want to see how we perform when we are working at 100% -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
