Top footballers show minimal brain activity when playing

Comparing to amateurs, top footballers such as Neymar, Ronaldo or Messi demonstrate 10% less brain activity during competitive matches.

Scientists have called this situation as ‘autopilot’.

After motor skill tests conducted on Neymar and several other athletes in Barcelona, results showed that Neymar displayed limited cerebral function when he rotated his ankle, which explains why the striker’s brilliance is uncannily natural.
