memory x flickering light

Memory performance can be improved using neural stimulation as simple as a flickering light, new research concludes.

Audio brain stimulation to boost memory could even be carried out while you sleep, scientists have found.

Techniques like this could one day help people with Alzheimer’s recall lost memories.

Brain waves — the electrical rhythms of the brain — can be stimulated in a number of ways.

Using a flickering light is one of the simplest: this induces neurons in the brain to oscillate at the same frequency.

In one study, people looking at a flickering light demonstrated improved memory.
