Something interesting to share. I was so impressed by the German neuroscientists.
Good news to those who want to learn things might do better by literally stoppping to smell the roses, according to German researchers.
They have found that the rose scent can be used to reactivate new knowledge in the brains of people while they sleep, enabling them to remember better this information later.
The German neuroscientists exposed groups of students to bursts of rose scent as they played a memory game in which they had to match pairs of cards on a computer.
Guess what. Those who received the rose scent outperformed others by 15% when they replicated the exercise the following day, according to the study.
Although the presence of the scent was important, the stage of sleep at which it was administered was crucial too, the researchers said.
They continued to explain that the brain is thought to process newly acquired facts, figures and locations most efficiently in deep sleep. These so-called slow-wave periods usually occur within the first 20 minutes or so after a person head meets the pillow and may last an hour or longer, then recur once or a few times later in the night.
Now i know when i should study for my exams. Heh. Guys, pls expose me to burst of rose scent at the appropriate time during my sleep.
Mood: Amazed.
