The pace of cognitive processing
Double-blind controlled pilot study
What the study found
Angelakis and colleagues tested whether older adults could improve cognitive performance by training their peak alpha frequency. Their double-blind controlled pilot study reported results suggesting improvements in cognitive processing speed and executive function.
Why it matters
This study explores training the timing of a brain rhythm, rather than only its amplitude, as a way to influence cognitive performance.
