      Hi brontesaurus,

      This is a very good question.

      The brain should be viewed as a muscle, much like those in our legs for example: if you exercise it then it will become more efficient and allow you to process certain tasks quicker.

      There are many ways in which people suggest we may increase our memory but the main thing is to keep our brains active as we get older. This will prevent/slow the development of diseases such as dementia.

      As for what would we be able to do, the human brain is already very complex so I would be difficult to suggest anything specifically apart from making it quicker and more efficient

      What else would you like your brain to do?

      Hi brontesaurus! As Adam says, the brain is like a muscle so the more we use it, the stronger it gets! Who knows what we would be capable of if we could unlock the full potential of our brains!
