A new study suggests that tapping your finger at a moderate pace of about two times per second can improve speech understanding in noisy environments by aligning brain timing with speech rhythms, especially when combined with vocalization, though further research is needed to confirm these effects in diverse populations.
A study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research suggests that out-of-control anxiety increases risks of fatigue, forgetfulness, and other draining symptoms by 300%. However, a simple finger-tapping technique, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping, has been found to ease anxiety by 67% in just 10 minutes. Tapping activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering the body's rest and relaxation response, and reduces the stress hormone cortisol. It has been shown to lower anxiety, depression, and symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Tapping can be done by tapping specific acupressure points on the body and can be a helpful tool for managing anxiety and stress.
