Abstract

Čovjekova težnja da unaprijedi sebe, bilo u fizičkom ili u mentalnom smislu, oduvijek je postojala. Postoje mnogi načini kako čovjek može utjecati na svoje kognitivne sposobnosti, budući da je naš um u neprestanoj interakciji sa svojom okolinom. Danas postoje lijekovi koji mogu svojim djelovanjem utjecati na čovjekove kognitivne sposobnosti. Uz lijekove koji liječe bolesti koje utječu na kognitivne sposobnosti, postoje i lijekovi, kao što je modafinil, koji mogu djelovati na poboljšavanje kognitivnih sposobnosti kod zdravih ljudi. Takve lijekove najčešće uzimaju vojnici, studenti, sportaši i drugi ljudi kojima njihov posao, ambicije i način života zahtijevaju maksimum njihovih mentalnih mogućnosti. Osim farmakoloških metoda, postoje i mnoge ne-farmakološke metode i načini na koji čovjek može poboljšati svoje kognitivne mogućnosti. U ovom radu su spomenute samo neke: tjelovježba, meditacija i slušanje glazbe.
