Are you terrible at math? British scientists can fix that. While it doesn't involve hours of math homework, it does involve some gentle electricity to the brain. The idea is to stimulate the nerves ...

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 ...

If you’re one of the many people, yours truly included, who always found math class a bit on the difficult side then maybe all you needed was a jolt of electricity. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has ...

A group of scientists from the University of Oxford, led by Roy Cohen Kadosh, conducted a bold experiment and used weak electrical pulses stimulated the brain students to improve their math skills.

New study on electrical stimulation to the brain could help narrow cognitive gaps and help build a more intellectually equitable society. (Envato Elements pic) Struggle with mathematics? A gentle jolt ...

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 ...

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 ...

THERE are few branches of mathematics which have not found useful application to electrical phenomena, and the engineer is continually receiving new tools of a theoretical nature to add to his ...

AN editorial preface by Mr. H. P. Young, an appreciative foreword by Dr. Alexander Russell, the usual author's preface, four chapters of elementary ‘pure’ mathematics (complex numbers and calculus), a ...
