Study: Music training improves RAPM and Verbal reasoning

Hard to find gem that shows us DNB is not the only way to improve on
DNB. This is the reason I began teaching myself to play some
instruments. Anyone who is interested, try to train with a metronome
as well. I found research showing that metronome training also causes
interesting improvements in executive memory. Combine this with the
intrinsic benefits of music and you have a winner.

I also did research on chess, and it seems that people who train in
chess perform better academically for whatever reason, in a few
different domains. But given that my entire day consists of activities
that enhance my brain functionality, it becomes necessary to question
what ends I seek to achieve with this brain power. Hence I remind
everyone to avoid myopia. It's folly to whet you ability without
actively seeking places to apply it.
