Cognitive enhancement means using different methods to help boost our brain skills, like memory, attention, and problem-solving. There are many ways to do this, and they each work differently for each person. Here are some common strategies:

1. Medications:

   • Some people use nootropics, which are special substances that can help improve brain performance by about 10 to 20%.

2. Exercise:

   • Doing regular aerobic exercise, like running or swimming, can raise a helpful protein in the brain called BDNF by up to 50%. This helps our brains stay flexible and adapt.

3. Brain Training:

   • Studies show that people can improve on tasks they practice more, gaining about 0.5 points on a scale designed to measure skills, while tasks they don’t practice might only improve by 0.1 points.

4. Healthy Eating:

   • Eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like fish, may boost memory for some people by about 20%.

How effective these methods are can depend on the person. But combining different techniques often gives the best results!
