People who viewed training videos experienced 11 times greater improvement in their motor skills than people not provided the videos, an Italian research team reported.
Further, MRI scans revealed that the training videos appeared to boost the brain structure of the people who watched them, increasing the size of portions of the brain related to motor control and visual processing.
“It does suggest that this may be a good way to start, especially for people who aren’t ready to do the actual activity, it may be the best way to prepare.” said Dr. Glen Finney, an assistant professor of neurology at the University of Florida College of Medicine.
