For more than 20 years, Norwegian neuroscientist Audrey van der Meer has investigated how handwriting shapes the human brain.

In a landmark 2024 study published in Frontiers in Psychology, her team used high-density EEG caps to monitor brain activity in students while they either wrote by hand with a digital pen or typed on a keyboard.

The difference was dramatic. Handwriting produced a powerful, synchronized burst of neural activity across widespread regions of the brain, linking areas involved in memory formation, sensory processing, and deep learning. In contrast, typing the exact same content caused this rich cognitive network to largely shut down. Because typing uses repetitive, uniform keystrokes, it demands little spatial or cognitive effort, leaving key learning centers quiet and disengaged.

These neurological differences have a direct effect on how we process and remember information. Earlier research by Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer at Princeton University reached similar conclusions. Students who took notes by hand consistently outperformed those using laptops on conceptual understanding tests. Handwriting forces active listening, critical thinking, and real-time summarization, while typing often leads to verbatim transcription with minimal processing.

Our brains function as part of an embodied biological system. Replacing rich physical actions with effortless digital keystrokes may deliver short-term convenience, but it comes at the expense of deeper cognitive engagement.

The solution is simple and timeless: pick up a pen.

LASG WRAPS UP SOCIAL PROTECTION IBILE CAMPAIGN WITH LAGOS ISLAND, EPE DIVISIONS

… As Residents, Stakeholders Harp On Sustained Intervention Efforts

The Lagos State Government wrapped up its Social Protection Stakeholders' Sensitisation Advocacy Campaign Tour, tagged: "SP IBILE" Campaign with the visit to the Lagos Island and Epe Divisions on Tuesday and Thursday respectively as residents and stakeholders urged the state government to further sustain its various interventions for the vulnerable.

Addressing the audience at Surulere Local Government Hall on Tuesday, the Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget, Hon. Ope George, represented by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Planning and Budget, Mr. Lekan Balogun echoed the State Government's commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind and continually provide interventions to uplift the poor and vulnerable in Lagos State while the Director, Social Protection Coordinating Department, MEPB, Mrs. Oluwakemi Gabadeen- Adedeji stated that the Plus inclusion in the THEMES Plus Agenda is geared towards ensuring prosperity for all in Lagos State and urged market men and women and stakeholders present to take the SP message back to their various domains. This, she also reiterated when she represented the Honourable Commissioner at the Epe Local Government Hall on Thursday.

While thanking the Social Protection Team for their hard work, the Vice Chairman of Surulere Local Government, Hon. Muheez Adewale Dosunmu commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his visionary leadership, stressing that residents in the Lagos Island Division and Surulere Local Government Area in particular appreciate his giant strides in implementing the Social Protection Policy across the State.

In the same vein, the Chairman, Epe Local Government Area, Hon. Surah Olayemi Animashaun noted that the Social Protection Campaign Tour is timely, "This programme is very important because the goal is to give people equitable access to available resources. More importantly, the vulnerable will benefit immensely. Therefore, I thank Mr. Governor for his foresight and urge residents to key into these various interventions by the Lagos State Government". she said.

During the community feedback, a lawmaker representing Epe Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Biodun Tobun thanked Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. for his initiatives in making life better while imploring some of the MDAs to do more to help residents.

It will be recalled that the SP IBILE Campaign Tour - organised by the Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget's Social Protection Coordinating Department, in collaboration with Social Functional MDAs including the Ministry of Information and Strategy,  Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment as well as UNICEF, earlier visited Ikeja, Ikorodu and Badagry divisions last week where the team interacted with stakeholders, artisans, market men and women,  CDCs CDAs and residents who lauded the Sanwo-Olu administration's Social Protection Policy and interventions.

This scripture was in my heart early hours of Sunday. I release this over you this week. In Jesus’ name.

“24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
   25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
Jude 1:24-25

It is too stressful to go through life without the favour of God. May you walk in favour all your days in Jesus’ name.
