study. did it work? what did they find? well, again, i want to say again, it is early, these are small studies, i think in some ways this was proof of concept, but look at some of the findings here. gamma waves, the shorter, high energy waves that were stimulating the front part of the brain, they found that that actually did improve overall longer term sort of memory. they were giving people lists of words, people were able to remember the earliest words better when they stimulated the longer term memory stores. the fadeaways, saw that in purple, those are the shorter term memory improvements. and, again, significant memory improvements in this small group of people. they tested 20 people, and the gamma group, and 20 people in the other group and they did a sham group as well, basically put the skullcap on but did not deliver electricity and they found that that did not have an improvement. it was clearly this electrical current that was making a difference. not invasive
