※ A thinking cap ※ 思維帽
The researchers from the University of British Colombia in Vancouver are now working on developing a 'thinking cap' and hope the device will enhance the mind's ability to learn. They discovered that the brain's ability was significantly enhanced when a magnetic pulse was applied to the premotor cortex, the area of the brain just behind the forehead.
溫哥華英屬哥倫比亞大學的研究人員正致力于研發(fā)一種名叫“思維帽”的設備,希望借此提高人腦的學習能力。他們發(fā)現(xiàn),用磁脈沖刺激大腦前額后的區(qū)域,也就是運動前區(qū)皮層的時候,大腦學習的能力會有很大提高。
