Expanding upon one of the most-read New York Times Magazine features of 2012, Smarter penetrates the hot new field of intelligence research to reveal what researchers call a revolution in human intellectual abilities. Shattering decades of dogma, scientists began publishing studies in 2008 showing that "fluid intelligence" - the ability to learn, solve novel problems, and get to the heart of things - can be increased through training. But is it all just hype?

Fascinating Survey of Brain Building Science
Revisado: 04-18-18
Dan Hurley, the author, became interested in this question, particularly the question of whether “fluid intelligence” can be improved. Fluid intelligence refers to the brain’s ability to focus and project patterns in a useful way and it implies some degree of change in the hard wiring of the brain. This contrasts with “crystallized intelligence” which is dependent on culture and what we’ve learned. To answer the question he interviewed a battalion of scholars, tracked down the makers of “brain building” programs and machines, attended a number of scientific conferences, read a great deal, and finally selected a few techniques to try on himself. His experiment went over three months in trying various methods on himself simultaneously.
