Here is an awesome thing that's so cool it sounds unreal, and still the title is a massive lie. They performed one simple test better.
Awesome that this is even a possibility though

It's science reporting and not immune to headline inflation, but it's not a lie to say there were measured improvements to patient cognition.
There's a developing consensus that electric stimulation has therapeutic potential in restoring brain function (from basal ganglion to transdermal stim). But if you want the full study findings here, I course this article because it looks the DOI address at the bottom.
Given how few (none) treatments they're are for TBIs right now, this is pretty exciting stuff to me at least.
Also, if it was the same test, everyone does better on a test they've taken before. They should have also tested 6 regular people that never had tbi's to see how they compared.
