Miami, October 19: : If you think that reading is the only way to stimulate your mind, think again, for a new study has suggested that surfing the Internet boosts the brain more than going through a book.
Researchers at California University have found that browsing the web triggers centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning, particularly in older and middle-aged adults.
In fact, the study, which looked at brain activity during web searches, resulted in a fascinating finding: Middle -aged to older people who know their way around the Internet had more stimulation of decision-making and complex reasoning areas of the brain than peers who were new to web surfing.
What's more is that reading didn't stimulate the same number of brain areas as Internet searching.
