Improve Memory Senses While We Sleep

Improve Memory SensesThe scientists are now more and more focused on the ability to improve memory senses when we sleep. Several years ago, scientists reported that the smell of fragrance during sleep can improve the brain's ability in storing new memories.

A recent study conducted by experts found that sound is played some major parts when we sleep and has an effect similar to that fragrance which can improve memory senses.

In a research done by John D. Rudoy from Northwestern University it was noted that respondents that the sound is played during their sleep have a better memory for new things, although the respondents do not remember what voices they had heard.

However, Rudoy is no rush to conclude that the result of this research shows that stimulation done during sleep is better for the learning process than when it was done when we are awake.

According to Howard Eichenbaum, Ph.D., chairman of the Center for Memory and Brain, of Boston, when humans sleep, the brain will reconstruct the stimulus that was accepted into the memory and voices or sounds that played may trigger certain memories so that we are so much easier to remember.
