The use of white noise can help to raise overall levels of attention and motivation, leading to better learning results by firing neurons and raising the baseline of dopamine levels just a bit.
52:19 - 53:17 (00:57)
Summary
The use of white noise can help to raise overall levels of attention and motivation, leading to better learning results by firing neurons and raising the baseline of dopamine levels just a bit. It is recommended to turn on the white noise at a volume that allows for total focus, without causing distraction.
