Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Training your brain

I could probably post this in the gadgets and electronics forum, but since everybody here is so interested in improving performance I thought this would be the best place to start the discussion. Reading Carl Zimmers latest column was an eye-opener. He describes an experiment where athletes had a battery hooked up to their scalps while they practiced a technical skill. The result was the electrical stimulation improved their performance and they retained that improvement afterward.

I'm wondering where this might be applicable to cycling? Discuss.
