British researchers have discovered that by applying a mild electrical current to a specific area of the brain, it is possible to enhance mathematical abilities!

People who hate math now have a good reason: It hurts. New research shows that math actually equals pain for some, in the brain at least. Comparing the brain scans of people with math anxiety with ...

A painless, non-invasive 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 ...

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 ...

Far too many students enter math class expecting to fail. For them, math isn’t just a subject–it’s a source of anxiety that chips away at their confidence and makes them question their abilities. A ...
