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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Schoolchildren who struggle to grasp mathematics could benefit from having their brains zapped with electricity, scientists say. A study of university students found that gentle electrical stimulation ...

Struggle with math? A gentle jolt to the brain might help. A new study published Tuesday in PLOS Biology suggests that mild electrical stimulation can boost arithmetic performance -- and offers fresh ...

Stimulating the brain with a nonpainful electrical current can jump-start peoples' math skills, scientists say. The finding could lead to new, long-lasting treatments for people with moderate to ...
