Train your brain

Conductor-and-Tennis-Player.png You can get smarter. You will get smarter.

Multisensory Processing, the brain's ability to combine information from several senses, can speed up our reactions, help identify objects, and heighten your general awareness. Music conductors, for example, are a unique group of people who are highly trained in localizing sounds both visually and aurally. Not a music conductor? No worries, there are things the average person can do to improve their multisensory processing, too. Try these tricks:

Play a musical instrument: Any musical training engages more than one sense.

Play a ball sport, like tennis: Tennis players rely heavily on sound (of a direct hit, backspin, etc.) to plan their next move.

Play a video game: Yes, you are allowed!

Hi,
I see that you are also monetizing your blog using adsense like I do. I just found a similar service but with audio ads and also pays for every visitor as opposed to every click. This looks like a good oppurtunity and is open till the 1st of Mar 2008. So if you would like to cash in, pl check Monetize your Blog
