Laughing is indeed good in most cases. A good belly laugh amounts to an aerobic exercise as your blood pressure and heart rate increase, your breathing changes and your diaphragm contracts. Laughing has also been shown to boost the immune system and reduce stress. Laughing is thus good for your brain! Here are two fun ways to take a further look at laughter and the brain : Listen to these laughs and decide whether it is a human or a computer laughing. Try this to find out how much you are stressed. You may be surprised… Enjoy!

Cognitive sciences have identified different memory systems, each supported by different brain regions. One major difference is between long-term and short-term memory (also called working memory). Long-term memory is an unlimited storage of memories dating as far back as you can remember to a few minutes ago. For instance, when you remember your first day in high-school or what you said to your colleague two minutes ago, you are using your long-term memory system. This system depends mostly on parts of the temporal (in blue here) and frontal (in green) regions of the brain. Short-term or working memory is a limited storage used to briefly keep the information needed for the task at hand. For instance, when you keep in mind a phone number while...

Well, cognitive psychology shows us that an average face (made from several other faces) is almost always judged as more attractive than its constituent faces… Why? It may be for the simple reason that an average face is closer to the mental idea we have of a prototypical face and thus easier for the brain to process. Want to experience it? Follow this link to the the Face Research Lab and create your own average faces. Enjoy. Happy stimulating New Year to you!

It can be considered as an index of your speed of processing: It shows how fast you can execute the mental operations needed by the task at hand. Reaction Time is a basic measure used in many psychology studies. Participant are most often asked to push a button when done with the task, which can be as varied as detecting an object, memorizing a word, or identifying an emotion. As brain processing is quite fast, reaction times are usually measured in milliseconds (a thousandth (1/1000) of a second). What is your average Reaction Time? Ready to try? Click here to start.

Indeed, the frontal lobes support the so-called executive functions: decision-making, problem-solving, planning, inhibiting, as well as other high-level functions (social behavior, emotional control, working memory, etc.). Ready for an executive workout? The functions of the frontal lobes are crucial for work and life in general. How can we preserve and enhance these functions? Research tells us that cognitive or brain reserve (i.e., the brain’s resilience to pathology) can be increased by mental exercise. Mental exercise has to be challenging (to trigger the formation of new synapses and neurons) and repeated (a single teaser wi...

We are constantly assaulted by lots of information and often required to perform several tasks at once. It is not easy to stay focused. However being able to stay focused is crucial to achieve success. Indeed, if you are listening to the office gossip while filling in forms, you will probably make mistakes.
