A recent study explored the impact of sensory stimulation on increasing human visual working memory capacity. The study aimed to determine if manipulating brain oscillations through sensory entrainment could enhance working memory. Contrary to expectations, both faster and slower theta frequencies of stimulation significantly improved working memory capacity in participants. This finding suggests that sensory stimulation operates differently than electrical stimulation. The study identified that individuals with lower baseline memory capacity benefited the most from sensory stimulation interventions. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these improvements and explore the potential applications of sensory stimulation in enhancing working memory.
