BERLIN: Are you ready to live without using your smartphone for three days? A new study has found that it will significantly reshape your brain activities. The study says that excessive use of smartphones can endanger the functioning of the human brain. Researchers from the University of Heidelberg and the University of Cologne in Germany are behind the new study. The study was conducted on 25 young adults aged 18 to 30.

The researchers asked them to reduce their use of smartphones for three days (72 hours). They were also instructed to use them for essential things. The researchers conducted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and mental tests on them before and after reducing their smartphone use. The results of the tests were then compared. In the first test, it was found that the brain function was very slow, and in the second test, the brain function improved compared to the first time.

The researchers found that if the use of smartphones is reduced over time, the brain functions will speed up. In the digital age, it is impossible to stop using smartphones. However, researchers point out that if consumption is reduced to a certain extent, there will be mental and physical improvements.
