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 ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

In what definitely wasn’t on our list of expectations for this year, researchers used a method called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) may help the brain learn math faster. This method, ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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, uncovers the ...
