One simple rule can help solve any complex equation. Here's a hint: all it takes is a catchy acronym.

Imperceptible electrical signals delivered to the brain can improve college students' mathematics skills, a new study has found. The researchers say that the technology is not far from being ready for ...

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 ...

A recent study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex suggests that adults who are better at math tend to rely less on 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 ...

On a simple math task - indicating which of two amounts is greater - kids with math learning disability get the right answer as often as their good-at-math peers, but behind the scenes, their brains ...

Think of the last time you concentrated deeply to solve a challenging problem. To crack a math puzzle or determine a chess move, for example, you might have had to screen multiple strategies and ...

A tiny ball of brain cells hums with activity as it sits atop an array of electrodes. For two days, it receives a pattern of electrical zaps, each stimulation encoding the speech peculiarities of ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...
