In particular, theta waves (4-8 Hz), more frequent during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase and also present in the mild NREM (Non-Rapid Eye Movement) phases, have been observed to be involved in this transfer.

It prioritizes what is significant and eliminates what is irrelevant. It is no coincidence that, upon waking, a seemingly insignificant melody or phrase effortlessly returns to our mind: these are the echoes of this meticulous nighttime work that writes memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Getting back into good habits<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Understanding how we learn also reveals how we should live. It&#8217;s not just about reducing screen use, but also about returning to a more human rhythm. Writing by hand helps activate deep neural networks; think, for example, of notes taken in class and how, upon rereading them, ideas resurface more clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">On the other hand, it is recommended to get back into the habit of taking real breaks, away from devices: observing the flight of a bird, feeling its breathing, stretching your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">It is also helpful to reinforce what you have learned with\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/le-sport-booste-la-memoire-jusqua-24-heures-apres-la-seance-nouvelle-recherche-251644\"><span dir=\"auto\">brief active recovery exercises<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Furthermore, the role of deep sleep should not be underestimated: it is there that memory matures and fixes what has been learned. Only when we give it the necessary time to rest and assimilate does knowledge truly take root. Thus, the words he reads today can become living memories, capable of accompanying him beyond the next five minutes, perhaps even for the rest of his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Maria del Valle Varo Garc\u00eda is a Research Assistant Professor at the Universidad de Deusto<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us pause for a moment and observe the gentle flow of these words before our eyes, this silent back-and-forth and the\u00a0voice that reads them in our head\u00a0.
