Reply to comment by RedComet313 in Researchers claim a human trial with 90 people has shown a simple laser therapy improves short-term memory by 25%. The treatment, called transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM), has had claims in previous studies to also improve reaction times, accuracy and attention by lughnasadh

Look into the research on neurofeedback and thank me later. There are home units you can buy.

Any recommendations? I am thankful that you even mentioned that, but literally found 60 products with my first search.

Sounds good, but is it?

The one I used to use was from brain-trainer.com. I don’t know the one you mentioned but could be good.

PS I looked at Neorhythm and it looks ok, but it's very limited, as it only records EEG on one area of the brain, similar to the Muse device. Unlike the Muse, since the Neorhythm isn't on Amazon, it doesn't have any reviews. In neurofeedback, the goal is to look at 19 channels of EEG to see which area of your brain is imbalanced, and then train that area of the brain accordingly. In ADD/ADHD, it is often corrected at the top of the head using a point called Cz, but it could be due to other reasons, such as too much slow wave activity at the front left of the head and not enough fast wave (required for activation/focus). The point is without a scan of the whole brain you won't know.

If you want to read a good book on the topic, check out Symphony in the Brain.
