A painless, noninvasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how this ...

Brain science research is increasingly bolstering the idea that math instruction rooted in culturally relevant problem-solving helps students draw from their lived experiences and activates distinct ...

A new study shows subtle brain stimulation can boost college students’ math abilities. Researchers at the University of Surrey call it a safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation method that ...

Academic teams from Triangle Math and Science Academy and Lee Early College go head-to-head in this last episode of the Brain Game semifinals. The winner will move on to the Brain Game ...

When both groups responded to statements on subjects that had nothing to do with math, the brain scans showed activity in the regions associated with language processing.

How a centuries-old math puzzle helped us see inside the human brain. By Steven Strogatz Photo illustrations by Jens Mortensen Each installment of “Math, Revealed” starts with an object ...

Many students dislike subjects like maths and science due to teaching methods that create pressure and anxiety. Research suggests that changing your mindset and using science-backed strategies can ...

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mildly electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published in the ...

Students from Middle Creek High School compete against Triangle Math and Science Academy students in another exciting installment of Brain Game.

In humans and several other mammals, brain cells are distributed according to a fundamental mathematical pattern, which could help researchers make better models of the brain in the future.

Topology, sometimes called rubber sheet geometry, is finding patterns in the brain, drugs and evolution ...
