By applying a small current to certain parts in the brain can speed up it activity which can make learning easy.
After doing research on the structure of the brain in stroke patients and in healthy persons by University Of Oxford researchers.
They used functional MRI to check the activity of stroke patients brain as they re-learn the skills they lost as the result of their illness.
But the result was shocking as the same technique was applied to the normal adult their learning speed was increased drastically.
To demonstrate this effect,researcher devised an experiment in which volunteers memorised a sequence of buttons to press.
The volunteers were fitted with a "transcranial current stimulation" device,in which electrodes were placed in a specific position on the head .
A very small current passed through the electrodes then to the brain , it can increase or decrease the activity of the brain depending on the direction of the current.
The result of the button pressing experiment showed the increase in the brain activity of 10 minutes of the brain simulation on learning , compared to the experiment in which brain simulation was not used .
Simulation doesnot increase the participants best performance , but it increased the speed at which they reach their best .
