"Unlocking Cognitive Potential: The Power of Everyday Pleasures and Memory-Boosting Exercises"

A study conducted by NYU Tandon School of Engineering using MINDWATCH technology has found that everyday pleasures such as listening to music and drinking coffee can positively impact cognitive performance by altering brain arousal levels. The study utilized skin-monitoring wristbands and brain-monitoring headbands to measure brain activity while subjects completed cognitive tests. The algorithm revealed that music and coffee increased brain arousal, leading to improved performance in working memory tasks. The research aims to develop personal cognitive arousal monitoring tools that can help individuals manage stress and enhance cognitive function.

"The Surprising Link Between Everyday Pleasures and Brain Power"

A study conducted by NYU Tandon School of Engineering using MINDWATCH, a brain-monitoring technology, found that listening to music and drinking coffee can enhance cognitive performance. The study analyzed brain activity during cognitive tests under various stimulants and revealed increased "beta band" brain wave activity, associated with peak cognitive performance, when subjects engaged with music or consumed coffee. AI-generated music showed the most significant performance gains. The MINDWATCH algorithm aims to monitor cognitive arousal in real-time, suggesting interventions like music listening during moments of acute stress.
