Enhancing spatial cognition through origami training: Insights from brain connectomes

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Origami training enhances spatial cognition via measurable brain network changes (EEG/eye‐tracking). The mental rotation and folding tasks validate these gains. This low‐cost method offers a scalable intervention for cognitive decline. Abstract Spatial cognition is a key ability of human cognition and intelligence.
