Russian scientists have discovered that magnetic stimulation of certain areas of the human brain leads to a significant increase in reaction speed. The relevant article was published on the open science platform sensors.
According to scientists, this effect is due to the stimulation of brain areas responsible for motor imagination, which allows a person to create moving models in space, to remember and mentally implement complex movements, especially in sports, when playing musical instruments or playing sports. dance.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to test the hypothesis about the relationship between stimulation of corresponding areas and reaction rate. It is also used to treat depressive disorders, ADHD and epilepsy.
“Potentially, this approach can be applied to compensate for a slower reaction in old age when creating new methods for the rehabilitation of movement disorders and developing new methods for training athletes,” said professor of the Department of Neurotechnology, one of the project participants.
