Welcome to Neurospark.blog
Dear brainy reader, I am Dr. Nienke van Bueren, a cognitive neuroscientist at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and I am fascinated by how our brains shape the way we learn, solve problems, and remember things. On this blog, we will dive into the incredible world of neuroscience. For example, we will explore how brain stimulation techniques like tES (transcranial electrical stimulation) can boost cognition—think better math skills and sharper memory!
Whether you are a science enthusiast, a student, or just curious about how to make your brain work smarter, this blog is for you!
