Driving a motorcycle can save and develop the cognitive ability of the brain, argues the Japanese researcher Ryuta Kavasima. Scientists conducted a study, which was attended by 22 people aged from 40 to 60 years. All members having the right, not sat behind the wheel motorcycle for a period of ten years. They were divided into two groups. One resumed riding on a motorcycle and did it for two months and the second is still used bicycles and cars. Then, all participants re-tested at the level of cognitive ability. It turned out that participants in the experiment, which resumed riding on motorcycles, have shown better results. For example, it was necessary to remember the sequence and play it in reverse order. Riders have improved their results by 50% compared to the test two months ago. Indicators of the second group, by contrast, fell slightly, said experts. According to Ryuta Kavasima, mental health - a big problem in modern society. In a familiar environment, when the brain does not have to deal with complex tasks, it is rapidly aging. Driving a motorcycle makes us stay in constant tension, and that enough to sustain the necessary tone. But, of course, this is just one of many possible solutions to the problem, the scientist contends.
