brain power

[benthinkin]

wouldn't it make sense to spend all of the research money on how the brain works and retains its memory so all the other research would ultimately benifit becaues we can remember 2 or 3 times as much and therefor be able to figure all the other problems in half the time or quicker hopefully. thanks for reading

This sounds a little like a varient of the myth that we only use 10% of our brains

but putting that on one side, there is a huge amount of research done on the brain and we do know how to improve memory.

But in the same way that it's not easy to become an athlete it's not easy to become a mental athlete there isn't going to be a pill that lets you remember pi to a million places - that takes work
