Samantha Jane Brooks
IntroductionSudoku is a popular logic-based puzzle that requires sustained attention, working memory, and rule-based reasoning. Despite its widespread use, the neural processes supporting Sudoku play have not been systematically synthesised, limiting understanding of its potential applications beyond leisure.MethodsThis systematic review aimed to examine the neural correlates of Sudoku solving and to evaluate its potential relevance as a cognitive training paradigm. Six neuroimaging studies were
