Did you know that listening to music can improve your cognitive performance? . Background music, or music that is played while the listener is primarily focused on another activity, can improve performance on cognitive tasks. Playing more upbeat music leadsto improvements in processing speed, while both upbeat and downbeat music leads to benefits in memory. . So as you prepare for finals, consider turning on a little music in the background if you are looking for a boos...t in your mental performance. . Press Play with Project OCEAN and tune into our Spotify playlist for music suggestions to get you through finals! . . #csulb #finalsweek #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #endthestigma #suicideprevention #music #cognitiveperformance #studymusic See more

Happy Friday everyone! Here we have a fun fact to kick off your weekend. . . Today, our fun fact is that pets help reduce stress and anxiety. So if you're feeling overwhelmed maybe look no further than the dog sitting on the couch. I know hugging my dog always helps me!
