Trying to Learn a Language? Zapping Your Brain Could Help!

Learning a new language is no simple feat, especially the older you get. Fortunately, a recent Futurism article reported on a new way to increase your brain’s ability to learn a language, and it appears to really work. A new study published in Science of Learning, showed that stimulating the vagus nerve with specially designed ear pieces improved adults’ ability to recognize foreign language tones. The interesting part is that the effect lasted even after the stimulation ceased.
