A painless, noninvasive 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 this ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech are using math, science, and artificial intelligence to better understand how people think, move, and perceive the world. Researchers at Georgia Tech are using math, ...

3D volume, generated manually by the authors in CONN, depicting the four frontoparietal seeds (left dlPFC, right dlPFC, left PPC, right PPC) as well as the right and left frontoparietal connectivity ...

Somewhere in your skull right now, there is no math department. No region of the brain exists solely to process equations, balance a checkbook, or wrestle with calculus. That is the central conclusion ...

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 ...

AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...

Researchers have developed a new method that greatly improves the accuracy of brain-state classification with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The brain-imaging technique fNIRS allows ...

Stimulating the brain via electricity or other means may help to ease the symptoms of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, with the method already being used to treat conditions from ...

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 ...
