Abstract:

In this paper, we analyze the cognitive improvements that can be achieved through hacking the brain through the use of multiple methods to enhance neuroplasticity. Exposure to gaming, for example, has proven conducive for learning real-world abilities through auditory and visual stimuli. We will discuss cortical magnification and receptive field sizes, as well as topographic brain maps in the context of neuroplasticity. We finally propose more studies to be performed to improve musical talent and musical abilities.
