Training Actually Improves Brain Function and Intelligence
Thursday, May 1st, 2008
Can exercises make you smarter? Can exercising make your brain more fit as well? The New York Times recently reported that a University of Michigan study showed that memory training exercises can increase intelligence.
Similarly, Dr. John Ratey this year published the book “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain“. His book explores the connection between physical exercise and the brain’s performance; that even moderate exercise can sharpen memory and improve function.
He talks to journalist Richard Wiese as part of the Brainwave Festival, a multimedia festival which runs throughout New York City through June.
