An NYU team found that music and coffee significantly improved cognitive performance. The results of the research of scientists have been published. magazine Scientific Reports (part of the Nature group).
The study’s authors used technology to monitor volunteers’ brain activity in real time during tests to assess mental abilities. During the assessment, the subjects had to wear special tracking devices on their wrists and heads, and the data from them was analyzed by artificial intelligence.
Participants performed the presented tasks under the influence of various stimulants: music, coffee and perfume. They also passed these tests without stimuli.
The results showed increased “beta” brainwave activity associated with peak cognitive performance when subjects listened to music or drank coffee. In particular, AI-generated music has been associated with significant increases in brain performance. Coffee consumption caused a noticeable but less pronounced increase in cognitive abilities, while perfume provided the most modest increase.
Previously, scientists had found a simple way. to develop 226% sleep cognition.
