Technology and its advancements are surprising us every day. A new research has recently suggested that with help of a battery-operated brain stimulator, one can juice up performance of pianists and tennis players.

Moreover, the research also explained its conclusion by saying that passing a low-power electrical current through the skull of a person helps increase his speed of learning new things, especially motor skills.

Also, the scientists added in their statements that the new technology could definitely serve people and their ambition of becoming great athletes or musicians.

The other benefits of the battery-operated brain stimulator highlighted in the research were enhancing academic learning, aid the recovery of stroke patients etc.

The leading researcher of the above study is Professor Heidi Johansen-Berg from Oxford University. During the research, volunteers were told to press buttons in specific sequence, similar to when someone plays a piano. While they were performing the task, the researchers passed a weak current of around 1-2 milliamps through two rubber-electrode-pads that they were wearing and were placed on opposite sides of the head.

After the action, current started flowing through motor cortex of the volunteer’s brain, thereby exciting neurons to speed up creation of new nerve connections. It was found by the researchers that the stimulation enabled the volunteers to learn the button-press sequence more quickly.
