Gallery
The Glasses of Nerdicon (Adventure Time) greatly augment the user's intelligence and brain capabilities, though doing so may drive the wearer insane from the knowledge.
The Sage Force (DC Comics) is an energy field that radically enhances the minds of its conduits.
The Maker/Ultimate Reed Richards (Marvel Comics) can enhance his intellect and cognitive thinking by stretching his brain.
In addition to causing Devolution, the Devo Chamber (Super Mario Bros. film) can work in the opposite direction and increase cognitive thinking and comprehension, though it cannot increase a person's intelligence any higher than what they're neurologically capable of.
