Mind's Eye: Students' Saving Grace


NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — Rutgers University’s chemistry and nutrition departments have teamed up to create a memory boosting drink called Mind’s Eye.

Because a large part of college students’ success is in retaining the information they have studied, Mind’s Eyeis said to help with just that. If students drink the soda before studying, they will be able to recall almost all of the material for their exam the next day. 

The all natural, zero calorie soda’s main ingredient is blueberries, which are proven to improve memory. It also comes in a smaller and larger size; the smaller resulting in an A for one exam while the larger would work for two exams. 

Rutgers sophomore Jamari Lake explains that he often has to read and reread exam questions just to search his brain for the answer

“It would be really helpful to have something that would make it easier to remember the material. Because I do study, but sometimes the information slips your mind,” says Lake. 

Although the soda is priced higher than most drinks, Mind’s Eye shows promise in being very different than anything else on the market.

“I wouldn’t mind paying a little more if it guaranteed I got better grades on my midterms and finals,” says senior Jasmine Pringle. 

Luckily for Rutgers students, this product has been found to do just that: improve exam grades. 

One of the first students to test the product, sophomore Naina Asthana, explains that with the help of Mind’s Eye she was able to pass a statistics exam that she didn’t think she’d be able to pass. 

“It’s like I didn’t have to think about anything too much, it just came to me so easily,” says Asthana. 

Regardless of what kind of test someone’s taking or how much they studied, Mind’s Eyewill be able to benefit all students.
