Applying a mild electrical current to a particular part of the brain could improve mathematical abilities in people who suffer impaired skills or in patients who have suffered strokes or other ...

"I am certainly not advising people to go around giving themselves electric shocks, but we are extremely excited by the potential of our findings," said Roi Cohen Kadosh of the University of Oxford.

For people who aren’t so good at math, a mild form of brain stimulation may improve your proficiency. The relatively new form of electrical stimulation is apparently gentler than previously tested ...

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mild electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published on July 1 st ...

Many people may have had difficulty solving arithmetic or math problems during their school days. Recently, a research team from Oxford University in the United States announced the results of a study ...

New neuroscience research is not only adding to our understanding of math and number processing in the brain, it's also suggesting a way to improve learning in the math-deficient. A small new study ...
