Multiple readers have written in requesting more articles on boosting brain power and concentration. This subject has been covered on PickTheBrain before but it doesn’t seem to get old. After all, who doesn’t want to be a little sharper?
In an effort to put all the brains in a row, I’ve compiled the web’s best articles on brain power. They come from a wide range of sources including some old favorites and several new sites.

Great list! Lots of good resources, there. I like that picture of the brain scan too. I used it in an article about improving brain power, as well!
Haha, that’s funny you’ve used the image before. Gotta love free stock images.
I really love this list especially University of Texas article on How to Develop Better Concentration While Studying.
Maybe you could point some research about brain to motivate me further.
That New Scientist article on “How to be a Genius” should be handed out to every person at the start of every school semester, whether he/she be a middle-schooler or college freshman. I love it - thanks for linking to it; it’s changed the way I think and perceive genius.
