Most people may agree that it is very difficult to study or work in a noisy environment and one needs to be in a quiet place to fully understand what they are doing. However, a new study suggests otherwise, as researchers now reveal that noise may actually help and play a key role in helping people improve their potential to learn.  

A team of researchers found that the transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) technology could have many applications for some people with cognitive difficulties.

"The study showed tRNS has promise as a tool to assist people with compromised learning capabilities", said Dr Onno van der Groen, the lead author at Edith Cowan University in Australia, adding that "the effect on learning is promising: it can speed up learning and help people with neurological conditions."
